This week: PGA Tour's Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, Thursday through Sunday, TPC Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada.

World ranking: 114th.

2008 earnings: $1,185,841 (80th on PGA Tour).

Last tournament: Two weeks ago, Moore interrupted his originally-scheduled extended vacation in Puyallup by committing to playing in the Turning Stone Resort Championship (2-under 286) and tied for 25th. And the Cascade Christian product was encouraged by his pair of 69s during weekend play of that event. Today, he returns to his college roots near UNLV, and is expected to play the next three tournaments.

Tee time Thursday: 12:46 p.m. PDT off the first tee with Jason Day and John Huston.

This week: Nationwide Tour's Chattanooga Classic, Thursday through Sunday, Black Creek Club, Chattanooga, Tenn.

World ranking: 560th.

2008 earnings: $122,856 (47th on Nationwide Tour).

Last tournament: Last week's 27th-place finish at the WNB Golf Classic was the Tacoma native's fifth consecutive cut made, but not what he had hoped for after being in the top five at the midway point. Putnam's third-roun 76 sent him sprawling down the leaderboard. Now, he's in a must-win – or at least must-finish-in-top-three mode – position to gain his 2009 PGA Tour card as he heads down the home stretch of the season schedule.

Tee time Thursday: 7:01 a.m. PDT off the 10th tee with David Branshaw and Bendon de Jonge.
