You'd think a guy sitting 65th on the PGA Tour money list, right near the $1 million, would have been a lock to play in this week's 91st PGA Championship.

Not so.

Because the PGA of America, which runs the year's final major, utilizes its own money list (last year's PGA Championship through the Buick Open last month), Moore would rank only 91st. Thus, that put him as the eighth-alternate heading into this week.

Normally, with the number of player withdrawals, that usually would still be good enough to play. But as of Tuesday morning, Moore had only moved up to No. 7. Things don't look good.

If he doesn't get in, he'll play at next week's tour stop in Greensboro, N.C. as a warm-up for the FedEx Cup playoffs.
