The leaderboard at the HP Byron Nelson Championship was full of players in need of a boost in the race for the FedExCup. Half of the top 20 finishers entered the week outside the top 100 in the FedExCup standings (9 outside the top 125). Of those, six are now inside the top 125 in the standings headlined by co-third-place finishers Joe Ogilvie and Ryuji Imada who moved from 156th to 93rd and 138th to 79th respectively.
HP Byron Nelson Championship winner Keegan Bradley, the third member of the 2010 Nationwide Tour graduating class to win on TOUR this year, jumped to 20th in the FedExCup standings from 73rd.
A dozen players fell nine spots in the standings this week. Boo Weekley (133rd) and Garrett Willis (134th) fell outside the top 125. Retief Goosen, who finished No. 10 in the Playoffs last year, fell to 145th in the latest standings.
