PARIS: Rory McIlroy continues to maintain a healthy lead at the top of the world rankings with the first Major of the season, the Masters, set to begin on April 9 at Augusta.

The Northern Irishman leads Sweden’s Henrik Stenson who is 3.19pts back in number two while Americans Bubba Watson and Jordan Spieth are three and four with Australian Jason Day completing the top five.

McIlroy is attempting to win the green jacket for the first time and complete his set of winning all four Majors. Former number one Tiger Woods fell out of the top 100 for the first time in his career.
