This week: PGA Tour's Transitions Championship, Thursday through Sunday, Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Golf Course, Palm Harbor, Fla.

World ranking: 175th.

2009 earnings: $216,088 (90th on the PGA Tour).

Last tournament: The Puyallup product and Cascade Christian graduate made the cut at last week's Puerto Rico Open 93-under 285), tying for 44th. He may not be challenging any scoring records, but Moore has shot a score of par or better in each of his past five rounds – after shooting a round of 77 in each of his previous three tournaments. He has worked on a few swing and set-up modifications to alter the way he strikes his irons. Last week was a little bit of a breakthrough as he was tops in the field in hitting greens in regulation (57-of-72). The All-American from UNLV is up-in-the-air about playing next week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, but is scheduled to play at the Houston Open as a last-chance effort to get into the Masters.

Tee time Thursday: 4:56 a.m. PDT off the 10th tee with Corey Pavin and John Senden.
