Puyallup's Ryan Moore will host his second BMW Northwest Challenge starting Friday (shotmaking clinic at The Classic) and Saturday (18-hole skins game at Chambers Bay). Here are the other three participants – Aaron Baddeley, Ben Crane and Bubba Watson:
AARON BADDELEY
Age: 27.
Hometown: Scottsdale, Ariz.
PGA Tour wins (2): 2006 Verizon Heritage, 2007 FBR Open.
2008 FedEx Cup playoffs: 43rd, finished at BMW Championship.
World ranking: 26th.
This season: It's been a good season, but not a great one for the Australian, whose best finish was a tie for second at the Heritage in late April. He has eight top-25 finishes, but like Moore, he's endured a few speed bumps. Fitness has been a real priority in the past season.
Baddeley comments: "I always practice. I'm always trying to improve. That's the great thing about this game."
Moore's comments: "His swing is in a great place … and he's in the best shape of his life, but it still takes something else for it to clock, and work. He's battling through some little frustrations."
This week: Nationwide Tour's Albertsons Boise Open, Thursday through Sunday, Hillcrest Country Club, Boise, Idaho.
World ranking: 582nd.
2008 earnings: $96,430 (54th on the Nationwide Tour).
Last tournament: The Tacoma native finished tied for 28th at last weeks's Utah Championship – a mild disappointment considering he was in the top 10 at the midway point after a second-round 63. Statistically, he continues to play like a top-20 player – his 270 birdies this season rank No. 3 on tour. Putnam has now made cuts in the four Northwest stops for his career, including a tied-for-38th at this event as a rookie in 2006.
Tee time Thursday: 6 a.m. PDT off the first tee with Bubba Dickerson and Fran Quinn.
