Rory McIlroy's win vaulted the 20-year-old into the spotlight and up the FedExCup rankings. He moved 141 places, from 166th to 25th for the biggest upward move of the week.

The second biggest mover, Angel Cabrera, made a far less dramatic rise than McIlroy. Cabrera, who finished solo third at Quail Hollow, broke into the top 50 at 41st, moving 54 spots. While Scott McCarron and J.J. Henry, who tied for seventh, moved 35 and 30 spots respectively.

Several players who finished outside the Top 50 at Quail Hollow found themselves moving in the opposite direction. Tom Pernice Jr. (T53) dropped the most, 12 spots, to 149th. Garrett Willis and Troy Merritt also made double-digit falls.
