This week: PGA Tour's Bob Hope Classic, Wednesday through Sunday, PGA West near Palm Springs, Calif.

Moore's first-round score: 4-under-par 68 on Nicklaus Course.

Kelly's first-round score: 1-over 73 on Palmer Course.

Position: Moore is tied for 63rd, and Kelly is in a group at 123rd. Pat Perez leads after his opening 61 on the Palmer Course.

Recap: Moore's opening round (68) was certainly better than last year's 75 to start, and the Puyallup golfer finished tied for fifth at the Bob Hope in 2008. He finished with three bogeys (and two birdies) over his final six holes, including one after incurring a one-stroke penalty on the par-4 18th. … So much for the hometown advantage for Kelly, who lives in La Quinta. He was 2-under after a birdie on the par-5 11th, but made three bogeys the rest of the way, and was one of six golfers to shoot over-par rounds.

Moore's tee time Thursday: 9:42 a.m. PST off the Palmer Course's 10th tee.

Kelly's tee time Thursday: 10:09 a.m. PST off the Nicklaus Course's 10th tee.
