Career Highlights

2011: Did not make a start on TOUR due to back injuries that stem from rookie year in 2003. Will have four events to earn $452,636 in 2012. 2010: Played in four events, missed the cut in each. When his Major Medical Exemption began after the 2003 season, had the opportunity to play in 12 events to earn $452,636 and match the $487,495 winnings of 2003's No. 125, Esteban Toledo. 2009: Because of lingering back problems dating back to 2003, made only four starts on the PGA TOUR, missing the cut in each. These were his first PGA TOUR starts since 2004.

Missed the cut in all seven starts on the Nationwide Tour. 2005: Started one Nationwide Tour event, missing the cut at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open. 2004: Limited to only 14 events, playing on a Major Medical Extension. 2003: Played in just three TOUR events in rookie season due to back injury. 2002: Became just the fifth player in Nationwide Tour history to earn an immediate promotion to the PGA TOUR, based on victories at the Richmond Open, Lake Erie Charity Classic and the Nationwide Tour Championship.

Finished first on the 2002 final money list with $381,965, overtaking Arron Oberholser in the year's season-ending event and earned Nationwide Tour Player of the Year honors.

One of then-15 players in the history of the Nationwide Tour to win as a Monday Qualifier when he posted a tournament record-tying 20-under-par 268 at the Richmond Open. Made a 15-foot eagle putt on the final hole for victory.

Used a birdie on the 17th hole at the Lake Erie Charity Classic to post a score of 9-under 275 after beginning the day two behind the three co-leaders and had to wait as the final groups failed to catch him.

Birdied four of the last five holes in the third round of the TOUR Championship to move to 10-under-par. Inclement weather eventually shortened the tournament to 54 holes, giving Moore the victory.

Did not make the cut in his first PGA TOUR event, Southern Farm Bureau Classic, after rounds of 68-76. 2001: Finished T130 at the PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament to earn conditional status on the Nationwide Tour for 2002.

Played the Canadian Tour where his best finishes were T2s at the Barefoot Classic and the CanAm Days Championship. Finished 16th on Order of Merit. 2000: Had two runners-up finishes on the Canadian Tour. Amateur: Three-time All-ACC selection at North Carolina.

1991 All-American.

Selected honorable mention All-American in 1990 and 1992.
Personal

Got his start in golf by going to the practice range with his father in North Dakota.

Cites playing in the 1995 U.S. Open as his biggest thrill in golf.
