The field is set for next week's season-ending Nationwide Tour Championship at TPC Craig Ranch. Three players moved into the Top 60 following last week's Miccosukee Championship --Gavin Coles, Chris Nallen and Chad Ginn -- to earn spots in the field.

More on the Top 60: Joe Daley earned the 60th and final spot in the field for the Nationwide Tour Championship at Craig Ranch by $109 over Henrik Bjornstad.

The victory by Cameron Beckman last week at the Frys.com Open was the 236th win on the PGA TOUR by a former Nationwide Tour player.

With two weeks to go on the PGA TOUR, 78 former Nationwide Tour players are among the Top 125. Of the next 10 players on the money list, eight are also former Nationwide Tour members.
