Biggest mover: Ben Curtis
He moved: 114 spots, from a tie for 162nd to 48th
Because: He finished second at the Wachovia Championship
A Sunday 65 -- with two bogeys -- propelled Curtis into solo second behind runaway train Anthony Kim at Quail Hollow. It was Curtis' low round of the season and gave him two top-15 finishes in his last five TOUR starts. His real test will be this week at TPC Sawgrass, where he has yet to make a cut in four tries.

Welcome to the top five: Anthony Kim
He moved: 27 spots, from 31st to fourth
Because: He won the Wachovia Championship
Casual fans may think Kim came out of nowhere last week at Quail Hollow. Hardly. Kim's convincing victory was his third top-three finish of 2008. He was second behind Boo Weekley at the Verizon Heritage and he tied for third at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. He missed the cut in last year's PLAYERS. Don't expect that this week.

Welcome to the top 10: Adam Scott
He moved: Two spots, from 12th to 10th
Because: He tied for eighth at the Wachovia Championship
Sure, his performance wasn't as stellar as his effort the week before in Texas, but spurred on by a Saturday 66 at Quail Hollow, Scott nabbed his third top-10 in his last five starts. Expect more of the same this week from the 2004 PLAYERS champ. He has three top-10s in his last four TPC Sawgrass starts.

Welcome to the top 20: Robert Allenby
He moved: 12 spots, from 32nd to 20th
Because: He finished fourth at the Wachovia Championship
A bogey-free 66 on Sunday shot Allenby from a tie for 18th to fourth at Quail Hollow. In fact, Allenby went without a bogey in his final 35 holes last weekend. Winner Anthony Kim couldn't say that. Allenby now has two top-fives this year and his only missed cut came at the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Welcome to the top 100: Jason Bohn
He moved: 52 spots, from 101st to 49th
Because: He finished third at the Wachovia Championship
Bohn was bogey-free Sunday at Quail Hollow, managing 17 pars and one birdie. That kept his roller-coaster ride of a season true to form. Bohn now has two top-10 finishes and three top-20 finishes in his last five TOUR starts -- with two missed cuts.
