PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. Jordan Spieth has dropped a spot in the world rankings, from No. 5 to No. 6, and all hes done to start the year is post three consecutive top-10 finishes.Its kind of just up for grabs right now, is what it feels like, Spieth said Wednesday at Pebble Beach.The emergence of Hideki Matsuyama and Justin Thomas has been one of the major storylines of this nascent season. Theyve combined for five victories so far to climb inside the top 10 in the world.

The world rankings are a two-year rolling system, but more emphasis is placed on recent performances. Spieth counts eight victories in that span, including two majors, but he has only one worldwide title since May, thus his current position at No. 6.There will be plenty of volatility over the next few months, with Nos. 1-5 as bunched as theyve been in years. Dustin Johnson can overtake Jason Day for world No. 1 this week, for instance, if he wins and Day finishes outside the top 52.Its not really a big concern of mine, its not at all, Spieth said. Im not saying that because Ive fallen back, but once I reached that peak, that was the goal I wanted to accomplish. Obviously I want to stay there, but my goals in order to stay there have shifted away from focus on the rankings and more just getting prepared for the major championship and then that takes care of itself. Thats how it took care of itself last time.

Brandel Chamblee was back on the Golf Channel Podcast this week and was asked by host Will Gray for his thoughts on Woods pulling double duty as a playing vice captain at the Ryder Cup. "My guess is he'll get pegged as a player and his responsibilities as a vice captain will sort of slip to the side," Chamblee answered.
