This week: PGA Tour's Barclays Classic, Thursday through Sunday, Liberty National Golf Club, Jersey City, N.J.

World ranking: 73rd.

2009 earnings: $1,915,727 (25th on the PGA Tour).

Last tournament: And on Sunday, the critics died down considerably. Moore, of Puyallup, won last week's Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C. in a three-hole playoff over Jason Bohn and Kevin Stadler. All three golfers finished regulation at 16-under 264. He collected his biggest career paycheck – $918,000 – and now is a legitimate contender in the FedEx Cup playoffs (ranked No. 22) starting this week. "For me, it's not even (being) excited that I won last week going into the FedExCup to enter into the Playoffs; it's just a matter of I feel like I'm playing consistent golf and I feel like I can be in contention in golf tournaments again on a consistent basis. That's what I'm happy with right now," he said this week at the tournament site.

Tee time Thursday: 10:11 a.m. PDT off the 10th tee with Jerry Kelly and John Rollins.
