I think this guy is going to be good :) Check out the statement in the last line....big deal if he makes it happen :shock:
Ryan Moore was running out exemptions. Now he's closing in on a TOUR card.

The former U.S. Amateur champion showed all it takes is a few good weeks to avoid q-school. He tied for second in the Bell Canadian Open, then tied for 17th at the 84 LUMBER Classic. That pushed his earnings to $512,900, allowing him unlimited exemptions the rest of the year.
Moore is playing this week in the Valero Texas Open, his seventh start since turning pro. His money is equivalent to No. 123 on the PGA TOUR money list, and he only has to finish equal to 125th or better at the end of the year to earn exempt status next year. The last American to earn his PGA TOUR card without ever going to Q-school was Tiger Woods.
