Darren Clarke will need a good finish at this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in order to qualify for the forthcoming WGC event in Florida.

Clarke, who missed the cut at the Singapore Masters last week, remains outside the world's top 50 but can move up the rankings should he find some form this week.

Mark Calcavecchia's 13th victory on the US Tour sees the 46-year-old leap 68 places on the rankings to 62nd, while China's Lian Wen-chong is up 40 spots to 78th following his win in Singapore.

The only change in the top 10 is that Padraig Harrington, who was not even in action over the weekend, edges ahead of Luke Donald at 10th.
