Biggest mover: Fredrik Jacobson
He moved: 58 spots, from 101st to 43rd
Because: He finished second at the AT&T National.
Jacobson started the final round tied for 11th place. A double bogey on the par-4 third didn't exactly help his cause. However, Jacobson rebounded nicely, making four consecutive birdies on Nos. 14-17 to climb within two shots of winner Kim. It was his second consecutive top-10 finish.

Welcome to the top five: Anthony Kim
He moved: Five spots, from 10th to fifth
Because: He won the AT&T National.
While climbing the leaderboard Sunday, Kim stayed cool and consistent. A five-birdie, no-bogey 65 ended with many wondering if Kim is the TOUR's next big thing. Kim has four top-three finishes this year and is the first American under 25 to win at least twice in the same year on TOUR since -- Tiger Woods.

Welcome to the top 70: Dean Wilson
He moved: 29 spots, from 98th to 69th
Because: He tied for third at the AT&T National.
Wilson's solid run at the AT&T National could not have come at a better time. He missed the cut at both the U.S. Open and the Buick Open heading to Congressional. The third-place finish is the best for Wilson this season and it is his first top-10 run since he tied for 10th at THE PLAYERS back in May. Wilson also moved to ninth on TOUR in total birdies with 227.

Welcome to the field: Patrick Sheehan
He moved: 14 spots, from 139th to 125th
Because: He tied for 12th at the AT&T National.
Sheehan posted four rounds in the 60s at Congressional, the first time he had done that in a PGA TOUR event since the 2005 B.C. Open. Sheehan may be starting a run. He had missed the cut in his previous two TOUR starts. He's also now 10th on TOUR in total birdies with 225 and is among the top 35 on TOUR in putts per round with an average of 28.64.

Keep an eye on: Alex Cejka
He moved: 15 spots, from 85th to 70th
Because: He tied for ninth at the AT&T National.
After missing the cut in six of seven TOUR events from March through mid May, Cejka now has two top-10 finishes in his past three TOUR starts. What's more, his final round Sunday at Congressional may be prove that his mental game is sharpening. Cejka overcame three bogeys to still post a 66 and get himself that top-10 finish.
