Biggest mover: Tim Herron
He moved: 51 spots, from 99th to 48th
Because: He tied for fifth at the Deutsche Bank Championship.
A Monday 65 that included an eagle on the fourth and a birdie on the 18th vaulted Herron into the field for this week's BMW Championship. It also gave him his first top-10 finish of the season and a chance -- with another strong run this week in St. Louis -- to punch a ticket into THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola.

Welcome to the top 30: Camilo Villegas
He moved: 43 spots, from 68th to 25th
Because: He tied for third at the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Villegas struggled mightily on the back nine Monday en route to a final-round 73, but the fact remains that Villegas has two top-five finishes in his past three starts. What's more, Villegas matched his top finish of the season -- and got back in the hunt for the top 30 after missing the cut at The Barclays.

Welcome to the field: Ben Crane
He moved: 35 spots, from 92nd to 57th
Because: He tied for 10th at the Deutsche Bank Championship
Crane also struggled to a 73 on Monday, but that 63 on Sunday went a long way in getting Crane a ticket to St. Louis. Crane has three top-10 finishes this year. However, he also has three missed cuts in his last six starts. This makes one wonder which Crane will show up this week.

Welcome to the top three: Mike Weir
He moved: 15 spots, from 18th to third
Because: He finished second at the Deutsche Bank Championship
Weir was solid, though unspectacular Monday at TPC Boston. His even-par 71 was no match for Vijay Singh's stunning 63. Still, Weir is only one of four players that could potentially overtake Singh for the FedExCup title. It all hinges on his performance this week in St. Louis.

Look out for: Vijay Singh
He moved: Zero spots, from first to first
Because: He won the Deutsche Bank Championship
You heard him. He's the greatest putter in the world. After that performance Monday, where he sank, like, 96 miles of putts, it'd be tough to refute that. What's more, he believes it. It's gonna be tough enough to beat him mathematically. It may even be harder to beat him mentally.
