Biggest mover: Chez Reavie
He moved: 99 spots, from 128th to 29th
Because: He won the RBC Canadian Open.
From when he tied for fifth at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in late January until he was holding the winner's trophy in Canada on Sunday, Reavie had exactly zero finishes inside the top 30. He made more than two-thirds of his current FedExCup season point total on Sunday. Talk about a windfall.

Welcome to the top 30: Billy Mayfair
He moved: 51 spots, from 81st to 30th
Because: He finished second in the RBC Canadian Open.
Mayfair may be someone to watch down the stretch in the regular season. He's now made the cut in 11 of his last 12 starts, including a par of top-five finishes (he tied for fourth at the Shell Houston Open in April). He's also in the top 10 on TOUR in both driving accuracy and GIR percentage.

Welcome to the field: Scott McCarron
He moved: 42 spots, from 178th to 136th
Because: He tied for fifth at the RBC Canadian Open.
A 63 on Saturday despite bogeys on two of the first three holes vaulted McCarron amongst the leaders in Canada (that would be 11 birdies, by the way). Sure, he faltered a bit on Sunday with those three bogeys in a five-hole stretch on the back, but he led the field in putts per GIR with 1.596.

Welcome to the top 50: Steve Marino
He moved: 20 spots, from 51st to 31st
Because: He tied for third at the RBC Canadian Open.
Marino made a total of 23 birdies last week, tying him for tops in the field with Sean O' Hair (more on him later). The tie for third is his second top-three finish of the year, to go with his runner-up run in Cancun. He second on TOUR in birdies (296) and ninth in scoring average with 70.43.

Look out for: Sean O'Hair
He moved: Nine spots, from 24th to 15th
Because: He tied for third at the RBC Canadian Open.
The season hasn't gone the way O'Hair would have liked it -- even with his win at the PODS Championship. Still, he does have that win and two other top-three finishes this season. Keep this in mind: O'Hair got two top-25 finishes in last year's Playoffs, including a tie for ninth at the Deutsche Bank Championship.
