This week: PGA Tour's EDS Byron Nelson Championship, Thursday through Sunday, TPC Four Seasons Resort Las Colinas, Irving, Texas.
Third-round score: 2-under-par 68.
Position: Moore (5-under 205) is tied with Bart Bryant, Charley Hoffman and Kevin Sutherland for second place, three strokes behind leader Adam Scott (8-under 202).
Recap: The Puyallup golfer is right where he wants to be contending for his first PGA Tour victory. A slow start (bogey at No. 2) was suddenly reversed with an eagle-3 on the par-5 seventh, and then he birdied two of the most difficult holes on the course coming in – the par-4 15th (4-foot putt) and 18th holes (35-foot putt). His last birdie, off a wedge approach shot from 120 yards, came on the heels of his only back-nine bogey when his tee shot plugged in a sand trap. Moore posted one of the 24 under-par rounds Saturday out of a remaining field of 76.
Some of Moore's post-round comments:

[More:]

• On the birdies on the 15th and 18th holes: "Those aren't the holes you really expect to make birdie on. Fortunatley I hit a great shot into 15, had an 8-iron in there and hit it really nice and firm – one of the best shots of the day. On 18, finally got it close to the hole (on the approach shot), which I was struggling with all day."
• On being 6-for-7 in up-and-downs from the sand bunkers this week: "Really? That's not like me, but I'll take it. I better keep it up."
• On getting good birdie opportunities: "I think actually my ball-striking was a little bit better today (than Friday). I had looks at birdies all day long, and had 15-footers keep burning the edge."
• On playing for the second time in almost two months: "Well, last week was the first week I had played in a couple of years where I didn't have any (wrist) pain at all, which was an amazing feeling. I was just kind of getting the rust off last week (at the Heritage), and I had a lot of confidence, actually. I felt good going into this week, and my body is still feeling good. And I'm enjoying playing a little more."
• On his chances of winning: "Why not? Thats the way I started the week, with a plan on doing that, and my goal was to be within striking distance on Sunday. Obviously that's the goal. I have great players around me, and ahead of me, and I know it's going to take a great round of golf."
Tee time Sunday: 9:35 a.m. PDT off the first tee with Sergio Garcia and Charley Hoffman.
