This week: PGA Tour's Travelers Championship, Thursday through Sunday, TPC River Highlands, Cromwell, Conn.

Moore's third-round score: 2-under-par 68.

Stanley's third-round score: Even-par 70.

Position: Moore (11-under 199) is tied for ninth, and Stanley (203) is tied for 26th. Paul Goydos leads at 194.

Recap: A real solid round again by Moore, who hit all but one green in regulation, but made few of the putts for birdies. He did attack the short par-3 holes on the back nine with 9-irons, and was rewarded, making a 10-footer on the 11th (playing 158 yards), and a 4-footer on the 16th over water (playing 157 yards). … Stanley's mid-range putting hasn't paid dividends this week in his professional debut, and the Gig Harbor product had a golden chance when he peppered a 3-wood from 263 yards out on the par-5 sixth to within 10 feet of the hole. He missed his eagle attempt, but got to 8-under for the tournament. That is as good as it got, because he made two bogeys in the next four holes.

Moore's tee time Sunday: 10:10 a.m. PDT with Jarrod Lyle.

Stanley's tee time Sunday: 8:17 a.m. PDT with Peter Lonard.

This week: Nationwide Tour's Players Cup, Thursday through Sunday, Pete Dye Golf Club, Bridgeport, W.Va.

Third-round score: 2-under-par 70.

Position: Putnam (5-under 211) is tied for 23rd, eight strokes behind leader Tom Gillis (203).

Recap: One thing is for sure about the Tacoma golfer, he never gives in. And he could have Saturday when he had a bogey-bogey-double bogey stretch on Nos. 8 through 10 to fall 3-over on his round. But he responded with four birdies, and another eagle on the par-5 17th to lead to his tour-leading total of 13. He's in search of his first top-20 finish of the season.

Tee time Sunday: 7:05 a.m. PDT with Blake Adams.

Bainbridge Island's Austin Hurt certainly didn't "Coug It" on Friday afternoon for the state's biggest amateur championship on his home course.

Hurt, who plays collegiately at Washington State University, fired a course-record, 7-under-par 65 at Palouse Ridge in Pullman to net the 83rd Washington State Men's Amateur championship, overcoming a nine-stroke deficit.

His chip-in eagle on the par-5 ninth fueled his late rally.

"That’s when I knew I was in the hunt for the title," said Hurt, who started the tournament with an 81, but rebounded with three consecutive rounds in the 60s.

Hurt finished at 4-under 284, one stroke ahead of overnight leader Derek Berg, of Kenmore, who uncharacteristically struggled in the final round, shooting a 75.

Berg had a chance to force a playoff, but his chip attempt for eagle on the final hole slid by the hole. He tied for second with Walla Walla High School star Drew Reinland at 285.
