This week: 90th PGA Championship, today through Sunday, South Course at Oakland Hills Country Club, Bloomfield Township, Mich.

Second-round score: 9-over-par 79.

Position: Moore (9-over 149) placed tied for 74th, and missed the cut by one stroke. J.B. Holmes is the leader (139), 10 strokes ahead of Moore.

Recap: In one brutish 51/2-hour round, the Puyallup golfer dropped from championship contender to out of the tournament, and missing the cut at a PGA Championship for a second consecutive year. In fact, Moore dropped 66 spots on the leaderboard – the second-worst freefall of the afternoon behind Rod Pampling, who shot 81. The UNLV All-American went out in 41 (four bogeys, a double bogey), then started his second nine holes with two more bogeys to sit at 8-over through 11 holes on his round. It was the first time Moore did not make a birdie in a round since the opening round of the FBR Open in February. For the first time since Moore turned professional, he did not make the cut at a major championship in a season.

Next: Wyndham Championship starting Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.
