text size

Player: Mathew Goggin
Points: 2,754
Position: 75th
In Goggin's 14 events played this year, he has 11 cuts made, 1 top 10 (T7 -- The Honda Classic) and 6 top-25s. Mathew could potentially move from 75th to 13th on the points list with a win this week (62-spot improvement and Goggins best rank since the start of the 2007 FedExCup points race). Note: Goggin has never ranked inside the top 60 on the points list since the start of the '07 FedExCup points race.

Player: Mike Weir
Points: 2,950
Position: 71st
Currently ranked 71st on the points list, Mike Weir can only move into the top 30 if he pulls out the win. After a strong start to the season with a fourth at the season opening Mercedes-Benz Championship, Weir has been unable to card a top 10 in his past 13 events played. In Weir's eight appearances at the Memorial he has two top 10's and three top 25 finishes with six cuts made.

Player: Justin Rose
Points: 1,416
Position: 121st
Currently ranked 121st on the points list, Justin Rose is looking for his first top 10 on TOUR this year. If Rose can maintain or improve his current position, he'll move at least 45 spots to 76th.

Player: Matt Kuchar
Points: 3,453
Position: 55th
Currently ranked 55th on the points list, Matt Kuchar could potentially move inside the top 30 on the points list with a win this week. Kuchar played well last year at the Memorial, firing rounds of 69-68 on the weekend to finish T13.

Player: Kenny Perry
Points: 5,942
Position: 19th
Perry is no stranger to going low in the final round at the Memorial Tournament. Last year, his final round 63 was the lowest final round ever at Jack's tournament (he finished T3 last year). In order for Kenny to reach the top 10 on the points list today, he'll have to win. Kenny Perry has made 12 consecutive cuts thus far in his 2008 season (third-most on TOUR this year). In Kenny's last fou events played, he's moved up 42 spots on the points list, (from 61st to 19th) thanks in large part to his runner-up finish at the AT&T Classic.

Player: Jerry Kelly
Points: 3,798
Position: 48th
If Kelly can maintain or improve upon his current T2nd place spot on the leaderboard through the end of the week, he'll successfully move inside the top 30 on the points list (28th).
