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

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

Position: Moore (17-under 271) finished tied for 24th, eight strokes behind winner Marc Turnesa (263).

Recap: This won't be a 72nd hole the Puyallup native will forget anytime soon. He walked to the par-4 18th at 22-under, and in a tie for third. He finished 21 minutes later with a quintruple bogey-9 after hitting two tee shots out-of-bounds to the left, and didn't hit the green until his seventh shot. If he had made par, Moore would have earned nearly $200,000. Instead, it was $29,059. Still, at face value, Moore's return from an extended layoff has been fruitful with a pair of top-25 finishes.

Next: Frys.com Open starting Thursday at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz.

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

Fourth-round score: Even-par 72.

Position: Putnam (10-under 278) finished tied for 23rd, 14 strokes behind winner Arjun Atwal (264), who defeated Webb Simpson in a sudden-death playoff for the title.

Recap: The long highlight was making an eagle on the par-5 14th for the second time in the tournament. Otherwise, it was a ho-hum weekend for the Tacoma native, who made more bogeys (seven) than birdies (four) in the final two rounds. Putnam moved up one spot on the money list, to 46th ($127,506), and trails the 25th-spot by nearly $67,000.

Next: Miccosukee Championship starting Thursday at Miccosukee G&CC in Miami, Fla.
