This week: PGA Tour's FBR Open, Thursday through Sunday, TPC Scottsdale, Scottsdale, Ariz.

First-round score: 2-under-par 69.

Position: Moore is tied for 20th, four strokes behind co-leaders Lucas Glover and James Nitties (65).

Recap: It was a deadlock on what the bigger storyline was for Moore on Thursday – his second consecutive 69 (shot that in second round of FBR Open last year) or the outfit he was showcasing? The Puyallup golfer sported a dark-colored Cardigan sweater, a skinny tie and a pair of striped brand of Puma golf shoes. If he keeps leading the field in fairways hit (11 of 14 on first day), he might wear it the entire weekend. Moore made three birdies in a five-hole stretch to get to 3-under, but splashed his approach shot on the 552-yard, par-5 15th from 270 yards out and made a costly bogey.

Tee time Friday: 6:40 a.m. PST off the 10th tee.
