Biggest mover: Scott McCarron
He moved: 62 spots, from 139th to 77th
Because: He tied for second at the Wyndham Championship.
Follow up a Thursday 65 with back-to-back 64s and chances are you're going to make some movement, both on the leaderboard and in the FedExCup standings. For McCarron, it was a move from the bubble for the first Playoff tournament to solidly in the field for the first two.

Welcome to the field: Rich Beem
He moved: 52 spots, from 166th to 114th
Because: He finished third at the Wyndham Championship.
Back-to-back 63s? That'll get you in the Playoffs, for sure. What's more, Beem's first 63 on Saturday came with two bogeys. His Sunday 63 came with one. If that doesn't give you confidence heading into the Playoffs, who knows what will?

Welcome to the field: J.J. Henry
He moved: 42 spots, from 177th to 135th
Because: He tied for third at the Wyndham Championship
A Sunday 62 gave Henry his first top-25 finish of the season and got him a spot in The Barclays this week. However, with four missed cuts in his past six events, he'll have to continue that stellar play this week if he wants to be around next week in Boston.

Welcome to the field: Justin Bolli
He moved: 12 spots, from 153rd to 141st
Because: He tied 15th at the Wyndham Championship
A 65 on Sunday helped by an eagle on the par-5 fifth gave Bolli his second top-25 of the season -- he tied for fifth back at the AT&T National last month. It was also Bolli's first top-50 finish since then. More importantly, it got Bolli a spot in the Playoffs and a chance for a lot more.

Look out for: Carl Pettersson
He moved: 45 spots, from 58th to 13th
Because: He won the Wyndham Championship
Suddenly, Pettersson is a contender to win it all. Don't think so? Consider this: Pettersson has four finishes of 11th or better in his past seven TOUR starts. He's eighth on TOUR in total birdies and sixth on TOUR in scoring average before the cut. He's also the only guy that's entering the Playoffs coming off a victory.
