This week: PGA Tour's John Deere Classic, Thursday through Sunday, TPC Deere, Silvis, Ill.

Fourth-round score: 2-over-par 73.

Position: Moore (2-over 286) finished tied for 74th, 18 strokes behind Brad Adamonis, Kenny Perry and Jay Williamson (268). Perry won his third PGA Tour title this season on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff.

Recap: The Puyallup golfer made up for shoddy ball-striking (hit six of 18 greens in regulation) with plenty of one-putts (24 putts in his round). He still didn't give himself many birdie chances. He earned a paycheck of $8,106.

Next: Moore is off this week, and likely will return to the tour starting July 24 for the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey GC in Ontario, Canada.

This week: Nationwide Tour's Players Cup, Thursday through Sunday, Pete Dye Golf Club, Bridgeport, W.Va.

Fourth-round score: 1-over-par 73.

Position: Putnam (1-over 289) finished tied for 57th, 16 strokes behind Chris Anderson and Rick Price (273). Price won the title in a sudden-death playoff.

Recap: The Tacoma native just never got anything going after finishing his first round with a double bogey to shoot 70. He opened his round Sunday with back-to-back bogeys, and later added a double bogey on the first hole. He certainly drove the ball (hit 41 of 46 fairways for the week, and all 14 Sunday) better than he scored. Putnam earned $3,100 for his finish, and dropped three spots on the money list, to 56th.

Next: The Price Cutter Charity Championship starting Thursday at Highland Springs CC in Springfield, Mo.
