Gig Harbor's Kyle Stanley, fresh off his second career runner-up finish at the NCAA Division I men's golf championships for the Clemson Tigers, will debut as a professional on a sponsor's exemption at the Travelers Championship starting June 25.

He is remaining amateur throughout U.S. Open sectional qualifying, and the national championship at Bethpage Black in New York. The week after the U.S. Open, the PGA Tour moves to Connecticut, and that is where he'll turn pro.

Some other tidbits:

• His management team will be SFX Sports, headquartered out of Washington, D.C. His representative is Brad Bufoni, of Milwaukee, Wis.

• His home club will be listed as Berkeley Hall Golf Club in Bluffton, S.C., just off Hilton Head Island.

• Stanley's caddie position is still up in the air, although Kenny Perry's caddie, Fred Sanders, will be on his bag for next week's U.S. Open qualifying.

• The Bellarmine Prep graduate will be allowed up to six PGA Tour event exemptions for the rest of 2009.

This week: Nationwide Tour's Melwood Prince George's County Open, Thursday through Sunday, The Country Club at Woodmore, Mitchellville, Md.

First-round score: 2-under through 12 holes.

Position: Putnam is tied for 18th. Cameron Piercy leads after an 8-under 64.

Recap: Rough weather came through for the afternoon rounds, suspending play. The Tacoma native came on, finishing his opening nine with a birdie on the par-5 18th, and moving to 2-under with another one at the par-4 third. He has two remaining par-5s to play Friday.

Tee time(s) Friday: Putnam will be back on the course at 4 a.m. PDT to finish up his opening round, and after a short break, will be one of the early ones to tee off for the second round.

This week: PGA Tour's The Memorial Tournament, Thursday through Sunday, Muirfield Village Golf Club, Dublin, Ohio.

First-round score: 3-over-par 75.

Position: Moore is tied for 77th, 11 strokes behind leader Luke Donald (64).

Recap: Just another up-and-down outing in a long line of them lately for the Puyallup golfer, who bogeyed four of his first six holes after starting on the back nine. He hit 11 of 18 greens in regulation, and took 32 putts. He did make three putts of 15 feet or longer.

Tee time Friday: 4:30 a.m. PDT off the first tee.
