For the fifth consecutive week, the biggest mover was not the winner of the tournament. In fact, he didn't move at all.

Last week: Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial
This week: the Memorial Tournament presented by Morgan Stanley
Complete FedExCup standings

Biggest mover: Tim Clark
He moved: 68 spots, from 132nd to 64th
Because: He tied for second at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial
Clark made just one bogey all weekend at Colonial, posting by far his best finish of the season. How welcome was that runner-up run? Clark had missed the cut in three of his previous four starts and more than half of the 11 starts he had made prior to last week.

Welcome to the top five: Geoff Ogilvy
He moved: Two spots, from seventh to fifth
Because: He tied for seventh at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial
Ogilvy was bogey-free on Sunday at Colonial. No one who finished above him in the final standings can say the same. It was his fourth top-10 finish of the season and more importantly, his first since he finished second in Houston nearly two months ago.

Welcome to the top 10: Justin Leonard
He moved: One spot, from 11th to 10th
Because: He tied for 33rd at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial
Leonard's season is proof that consistency throughout the season will move you up the ladder. Leonard hasn't had a top-10 since February, but he's only missed the cut once since then and his worst four-round finish was a tie for 39th in Houston.

Welcome to the top 50: Rod Pampling
He moved: 44 spots, from 80th to 36th
Because: He tied for second at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial
First, the bad news: Pampling has missed three of his last five cuts. Now the good news: In events where he has made the cut during that stretch, he's finished in the top 10 (he also tied for eighth at the Wachovia Championship. Pampling has four top-10s this season -- and seven missed cuts. Now that's a roller coaster.

Welcome to the top 100: Tommy Armour III
He moved: 20 spots, from 110th to 90th
Because: He tied for 10th at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial
Armour now has three top-10 finishes in a little over two months. He was sixth in Puerto Rico, seventh in New Orleans and now a tie for 10th at Colonial. He's also riding a string of four consecutive made cuts and six made cuts in his last seven starts.
