This week: PGA Tour's The Barclays, Thursday through Sunday, Ridgewood Country Club, Paramus, N.J.

First-round score: 5-over-par 76.

Position: Moore is tied for 125th, 14 strokes behind leader Hunter Mahan (62).

Recap: The Puyallup golfer made as many double bogeys (Nos. 3 and 11) as birdies (Nos. 2 and 5), hit six of the 14 fairways and only half of the greens en route to his fourth-worst score of the season, and worst to open a tournament in 2008 since a 78 at the Buick Invitational in late January. He's in danger of missing his third cut in a row, which would be his longest drought this season.

Tee time Friday: 9:32 a.m. PDT off the first tee.

This week: Nationwide Tour's Northeast Pennsylvania Classic, Thursday through Sunday, Elmhurst Country Club, Moscow, Pa.

First-round score: 1-under-par 69.

Position: Putnam is tied for 46th, six strokes behind co-leaders Greg Chalmers and Chris Tidland (63).

Recap: Kind of a strange round. The Tacoma native made all pars on his opening holes, then started the back nine with a double bogey-6. But he kept hitting greens in regulation (83-percent clip), and converted four birdies to finish his round, including one on the par-4 18th.

Tee time Friday: 5:15 a.m. PDT off the first tee.
