Michelle Wie is back at No. 2 in the Women's World Golf Ranking.

Wie, who finished tied for third and a shot out of a playoff Sunday at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, fell out of last week's rankings because of insufficient tournament entries.

Annika Sorenstam, who finished sixth but never challenged for the lead at the Kraft Nabisco, remains in first. Paula Creamer and Yuri Fudoh of Japan each dropped one spot to third and fourth, followed by Lorena Ochoa. Ochoa, who was sixth last week, lost in a playoff to Karrie Webb at the Kraft Nabisco, the LPGA's first major of the season.

Cristie Kerr is sixth, Ai Miyazato of Japan seventh, Juli Inkster eighth, Webb ninth and Jeong Jang 10th.

The women's ranking, sponsored by Rolex, is published every Tuesday and used as criteria for getting into tournaments such as the LPGA Championship, the Women's British Open and the HSBC Women's World Match Play. Wie already is committed to play in all three.

The ranking measures performances over two years, with emphasis placed on the most recent 13-week period. Points are assigned based on the strength of field, then divided by the number of tournaments played.

Wie, 16, came up a stroke short of playoffs in the only two LPGA events she has played this year, finishing third in both. She earned $108,222 at the Kraft Nabisco and $73,227 at the Fields Open in Hawai'i in February. She has five top-three finishes in her past seven LPGA tournaments.
