Mahan fell a spot to No. 7 and the world's hottest player, Jason Dufner,

Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker, both down two this week, rounded out the top
10.
Martin Kaymer remained in 11th, but Phil Mickelson fell three to No. 12. Webb
Simpson slid one to 13th and Louis Oosthuizen inched up one to 14th. Adam
Scott slid two to 15th.
Charl Schwartzel held on to No. 16, followed by Colonial winner Zach Johnson,
who shot up 10 places thanks to the victory. Jason Day fell one, Rickie Fowler
moved up one and Dustin Johnson, who will return from injury this week at
Memorial, also slipped one.
