This week: AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Thursday through Sunday, Monterey Peninsula, Pebble Beach and Spyglass Golf Courses, Pebble Beach, Calif.

Moore’s fourth-round score: Even-par 72 at Pebble Beach.

Position: Moore (7-under 279) tied for 20th, 10 strokes behind winner Phil Mickelson. Kelly (2-over 216) missed the cut Saturday.

Recap: In the broad picture, considering how a cold and damp Pebble Beach chewed up much of the field Sunday, Moore’s 72 was not a bad score. But considering the start he got off to – 4-under through five holes (birdies at Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5) – falling back …

World rankings: Moore is 65th, and Kelly is 354th.

2012 earnings: Moore has $29,736 (115th on the PGA Tour), and Kelly has $23,408 (128th on the PGA Tour).
