This week: PGA Tour's St. Jude Classic, Thursday through Sunday, TPC Southwind, Memphis, Tenn.

World ranking: 1,224th.

2009 earnings: $11,178 (234th on the PGA Tour).

Last tournament: Miss a paycheck in seven consecutive PGA Tour appearances, and something has got to change, right? Well, it did for Kelly, the Tacoma resident – he changed his caddie. In fact, he will incorporate another Pierce County product in Fife's Chris Ming, an accomplished mini-tour player who has been a part-time caddie at Chambers Bay Golf Course. Kelly hasn't played since missing the cut at the Byron Nelson Championship in late May (7-over 147), although his scoring has improved, shooting 74 or better in the past six rounds.

Tee time Thursday: 6:21 a.m. PDT off the 10th tee with Kris Blanks and Aaron Watkins.

This week: Nationwide Tour's Knoxville Open, Thursday through Sunday, Fox Den Country Club, Knoxville, Tenn.

World ranking: 766th.

2009 earnings: $17,547 (105th on the Nationwide Tour).

Last tournament: Well, it was at least nice to add to the bank account last week for the Tacoma native, who was in the top five entering Sunday before settling for a tied-for-27th at the Melwood Prince George's County Open, ending a three-tournament skid. And he warned earlier this week that he was close to putting it all together for a run at a tournament title after making swing changes in the offseason.

Tee time Thursday: 9:55 a.m. PDT off the first tee with Seung-su Han and David McKenzie.
