Bill Lunde's final-round 66 in Verona, N.Y., didn't only earn him $720,000 and his first PGA TOUR victory -- it also moved him into the top 125 on the FedExCup leaderboard and has him in strong contention for the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup. J.J. Henry also jumped 40 spots into the top 100 after finishing second at the Turning Stone Resort Championship.

At Firestone, Hunter Mahan's win at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational strengthened his top-25 standing, moving him only 295 points short of FedExCup leader Ernie Els. Ryan Palmer's runner-up finish pushed him into the top 25 for the first time since the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

After not playing this past week, J.P. Hayes, Corey Pavin, and Chris Riley all fell out of the top 100. Briny Baird also fell out of position after missing the cut at Turning Stone.

Tiger Woods, courtesy of his T78 finish at Firestone, moved further down the leaderboard to 119th place and is now in danger of missing the Playoffs completely.

Here are the biggest movers -- both up and down -- in the FedExCup standings after the Bridgestone Invitational and the Turning Stone Resort Championship.
