IBARAKI, JAPAN (Reuters) - Park Sung-hyun is projected to take over the women's world number one ranking after fellow South Korean Ryu So-yeon finished equal 33rd at the TOTO Japan Classic on Sunday. "I didn't know that," Ryu told Reuters outside the scoring tent at the Taiheiyo Club Minori, when told she had surrendered the number one ranking. Ryu, 27, was delighted to become number one back in June, but admitted to eventually feeling the pressure of the lofty position. Rye battled a sore right shoulder throughout the TOTO Japan Classic, constantly rubbing it after hitting a shot. She went to number one by winning the NW Arkansas Championship in late June, but has not had a victory since.
