Biggest mover: Marc Turnesa
He moved: 63 spots, from 138th to 75th
Because: He won the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open.
Turnesa has now held at least a share of the lead in seven out of 16 rounds during the first four events of the PGA TOUR's Fall Series. He was the outright leader for the first three rounds of the Viking Classic before falling to Will MacKenzie in a playoff. This week, he held at least a share of the lead all four days.

Welcome to the top 70: Matt Kuchar
He moved: 26 spots, from 93rd to 67th
Because: He finished second at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open.
The runner-up finish for Kuchar was the second of his career, with the first coming at the 2001 Texas Open at LaCantera. He collected $442,800 on Sunday to move to No. 67 on the money list, snapping a streak of seven consecutive missed cuts in the process.

Welcome to the top 125: Michael Allen
He moved: 18 spots, from 135th to 117th
Because: He tied for third at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open.
A three-putt bogey at the 16th hole ended any hope of Allen getting his first TOUR win. As he walked off the 18th green, Allen dejectedly said, "That was an expensive hole." He's right. Instead of finishing alone in third place, Allen splits $639,600 with two others.

Welcome to the top 90: John Mallinger
He moved: 11 spots, from 97th to 86th
Because: He tied for second at the Valero Texas Open.
Talk about a table setter: Back-to-back 64s on Thursday and Friday set Mallinger up for his second tied for third this year. The other came at Pebble Beach in February. With his $213,200 paycheck, Mallinger crossed the $1 million barrier in earnings this season.

Watch out for: Davis Love III
He moved: Eight spots, from 133rd to 125th
Because: He tied for sixth at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open.
Love now has two top-10 finishes in his last three events. He tied for sixth a couple of weeks ago at Turning Stone. Those two finishes have accounted for more than half of his season earnings. He'll likely need one more big performance to lock him into that all-important top 125.

What's at stake in the Fall Series:
Win: Invitation to the Mercedes-Benz Championship, two-year PGA TOUR exemption
Top 30 Money List: Invitations to the Masters and U.S. Open
Top 70 Money List: Spots in the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard and the Memorial Tournament
Top 80 Money List: Invitation to the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial
Top 125 Money List: Spots in the Verizon Heritage, THE PLAYERS Championship and AT&T National
