This week: PGA Tour's Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Thursday through Sunday, TPC Louisian, Avondale, La.

Second-round score: 1-under-par 71.

Position: Moore (5-under 139) is tied for 21st, five strokes behind leader Jerry Kelly (134).

Recap: The Puyallup golfer started by making a long putt – from 22 feet on the par-4 first – and finished his five-birdie outing by making another one, from 33 feet on the par-4 15th. And yet, he totaled 30 putts, which is a sub-par showing.

Tee time Saturday: 9:08 a.m. PDT with Tim Petrovic.

This week: PGA Tour's Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Thursday through Sunday, TPC Louisian, Avondale, La.

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

Position: Kelly (3-over 148) finished tied for 112th, and missed the cut by four strokes.

Recap: The Central Kitsap High product had a double bogey for a second consecutive day, and will miss cashing a paycheck for the fifth tournament in a row (four missed cuts and a withdrawal).

Next: Kelly will be a longshot alternate to get into next week's field at the next week's Quail Hollow Championship, and won't be in The Players Championship the following week, either. Check back in early May.

This week: Nationwide Tour’s South Georgia Classic, Thursday through Sunday, Kinderlou Forest Golf Club, Valdosta, Ga.

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

Position: Putnam (3-over 147) is tied for 103rd, and missed the cut by four strokes. Henrik Bjornstad leads at 134.

Recap: The Tacoma product was 1-under through 10 holes, had two par-5 holes remaining but could not take advantage of those late opportunities to make his five consecutive cuts this season. It was the third time this season the Life Christian Academy graduate fired over-par scores to open a tournament.

Next: BMW Charity Pro-Am starting May 14 at Thornblade Golf Club, Bright’s Creek Golf Club and The Carolina Country Club in North and South Carolina.
