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

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

Position: Moore (11-under 273) finished tied for sixth, three strokes out of the playoff between Kenny Perry and Charley Hoffman at 270. Perry won the title on the third extra hole.

Recap: The Puyallup golfer did something this week only three others – Charley Hoffman, David Toms and Cliff Kresge – did by shooting all four rounds in the 60s (the only other time he's accomplished that was the 2006 Buick Championship). And among top-10 finishers, only Jeff Maggert had fewer bogeys or worse than Moore's pair during weekend play. Moore got to 12-under Sunday when he approach from 88 yards on the par-5 15th stopped 17 inches from the hole for a tap-in birdie. If he wasn't jazzed by that, walking to the tee at the raucous par-3 16th. His tee shot went long and left, and left him short-sided for a chip shot. Moore ultimately missed a 12-footer for par. He earned a paycheck of $194,250 for his highest finish since a runner-up at the 2008 Byron Nelson Championship.

Next: Buick Invitational starting Thursday at Torrey Pines North and South Courses, San Diego.
