Biggest mover: Dustin Johnson
He moved: 87 spots, from 128th to 41st
Because: He won the Turning Stone Resort Championship.
Wanna guarantee your TOUR card and take all the pressure off? In the words of Al Davis, just win, baby. The victory is Johnson's first top-10 finish since he tied for 10th at the Sony Open in Hawaii in January. He was looking at a year without a card -- until Sunday.

Welcome to the top 80: Charles Howell III
He moved: 14 spots, from 83rd to 69th
Because: He tied for third at the Turning Stone Resort Championship.
The bad news is that Howell's worst round of the tournament came on Sunday, a 1-over 73. However, the good news is that Howell got his best finish of the year and is now above that top 70 level that gets an invite to the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard and the Memorial Tournament.

Welcome to the top 125: Charles Warren
He moved: 13 spots, from 127th to 114th
Because: He tied for 10th at the Turning Stone Resort Championship
Warren bounced back from consecutive missed cuts at The Barclays and the Viking Classic with his first top-10 run since he finished third at the FBR Open back in February. In fact, his last top-20 finish was way back in June at the Buick Invitational.

Watch out for: Joe Ogilvie
He moved: 15 spots, from 103rd to 89th
Because: He tied for 10th at the Turning Stone Resort Championship.
Ogilvie crossed the $1 million barrier in season earnings Sunday and also got his second consecutive top-15 finish and third top-25 finish in five starts. Speaking of top-15s, Ogilvie is now in the top 15 in birdie average on TOUR, at 3.59.
