Solid finishes at Bay Hill lift Curtis, Love, Couch

Ernie Els taking the top spot from Steve Stricker may have been the most notable FedExCup move of the week, but it certainly wasn't the biggest. That honor belongs to Ben Curtis. After a slow start to the season, including several missed cuts, Curtis broke into the top 10 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard finishing solo sixth. He earned 100 FedExCup points and jumped 67 spots in the standings to 113th.

Another upward mover was Davis Love III. Since finishing tied for fifth at the Sony Open, Love had missed four consecutive cuts. Partly motivated by the threat of not making it to Augusta this year, he finished T14 at Bay Hill for a 31 spot leap in the standings. (But unfortunately still has yet to grab a Masters spot.)

Kevin Na's tie for second place also gave him a boost -- 245 points to move to 21st. Chris Couch picked up 123 points with his T4. And Kevin Streelman broke into the Top 50 in the FedExCup standings with his second-straight top 10 finish.

Missed cuts at Bay Hill resulted in double-digit drops in the standings for several players, including Zach Johnson, David Duval and John Rollins.

The following are the biggest movers -- up and down -- after the 2010 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
