Movers: DeLaet, Palmer, Dufner have big weeks

Graham DeLaet's return is looking like a successful one.

A rookie in 2010, DeLaet had a solid campaign that saw him qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs. Injuries limited DeLaet to just two starts on TOUR last year but he's back to playing a full schedule -- and in position to qualify for the Playoffs -- this year.

DeLaet's tie for fourth at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, his second top 10 of the year, made him the week's biggest mover with a 44-position surge to No. 77. That's his highest ranking since before he made his second start of the season.

Also making a move was Ryan Palmer, whose tie for fourth was his first top 10 of the year and pushed him to No. 59 in the latest FedExCup standings -- his highest ranking of the 2012 season.

Jason Dufner, a winner at TPC Louisiana, earned not just the first victory of his career, but also his second penetration into the FedExCup top 10. His position at No. 9 only falls short of his brief stint at No. 7 following last year's runner-up finish at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Making the biggest move in the wrong direction was Jonathan Byrd. Idle last week, Byrd was passed by nine people in the standings and currently sits at No. 63. Don't be surprised do see Byrd regain those spots this week at the Wells Fargo Championship. He's finished inside the top 5 in two of the last years at Quail Hollow.

Byrd won't be the only player looking to climb back up the ranks this week. Of those who fell seven spots or more last week, 10 are scheduled to compete at Quail Hollow.

Below are the biggest movers -- both up and down -- following the 2012 Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
