While Kelly Fisher's win this weekend at the WPBA West Coast Classic will definitely launch her up the WPBA points list, she will not be the one player making a big move.
Fisher's first place finish will move her from 13th place to 8th place when the WPBA releases their revised points list. Gerda Hofstatter's second place finish will also be enough to move her from 8th place up to 5th place and Vivian Villarreal's third place finish will move her from 9th to 7th. Moving down to make room for Fisher, Hofstatter and Villarreal, will be Ga-Young Kim and Helena Thornfeldt. Both players will drop 3 spots.
Although there will be no new players entering the ranks of the top sixteen, there will be a fair amount of shuffling within those ranks. The new points list will show the following changes...
| Player | Old Rank | New Rank | Movement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeanette Lee | 3rd | 4th | -1 |
| Julie Kelly | 4th | 3rd | +1 |
| Monica Webb | 5th | 6th | -1 |
| Ga-Young Kim | 6th | 9th | -3 |
| Helena Thornfeldt | 7th | 10th | -3 |
| Gerda Hofstatter | 8th | 5th | +3 |
| Vivian Villarreal | 9th | 7th | +2 |
| Tiffany Nelson | 10th | 11th | -1 |
| Melissa Herndon | 11th | 12th | -1 |
| Jennifer Barretta | 12th | 13th | -1 |
| Kelly Fisher | 13th | 8th | +5 |
| Jennifer Chen | 14th | 15th | -1 |
| Sarah Ellerby | 15th | 16th | -1 |
| Romana Dokovic | 16th | 14th | +2 |
Other players making moves to get closer to the top sixteen included Kim Shaw, Laura Smith and Ramona Biddle who all three will gain one position on the list.
