10:40 am on 15 November 2011

New Zealand's top-ranked golfer Danny Lee, who's enjoying a strong finish to a busy year, has improved another 25 places in the world rankings to 153rd.

After his tie for 5th in the Singapore Open at the weekend, 21 year old Lee decided to bypass next month's New Zealand Open to try and make the top 60 on the European Tour who will playoff for the 13-million dollar, season-ending Race to Dubai world championship.

He's already qualified to play on the US PGA tour next year.
