What a difference a week makes.

Prior to the RBC Canadian Open, Kris Blanks and Andres Romero were on the FedExCup bubble while Sean O'Hair was well outside the all-important top 125.

Fast forward one week. With O'Hair's victory and top-3s from Blanks and Romero, and all three are safely inside the top 125 and are essentially locks to make the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup which get under way August 25 at The Barclays.

That's how quickly thing can turn around on the FedExCup bubble late in the season and why every event is so important with the Playoffs just four weeks away.

Looking for the next player who could make a big jump? What about Woody Austin, who was outside the top 200 in the FedExCup standings at the start of July, but now has moved to No. 152. He's posted three consecutive top 30s including his best finish of the year, a T6 in Canada. Austin now sets his sights on The Greenbrier Classic -- site of his best finish of the 2010 season (T4).

Graeme McDowell, Davis Love III and Ricky Barnes are among the group of golfers who suffered the steepest drops last week. All three are now outside, or further outside, the FedExCup top 70. Staying above that number is important because only the top 70 players following the Deutsche Bank Championship will be eligible to play in the third Playoffs event, the BMW Championship.

The following are the biggest movers -- up and down -- after the RBC Canadian Open.
