Kyle Stanley's 72nd-hole collapse at the Farmers Insurance Open has received almost as much attention as Brandt Snedeker's victory, but Stanley was far from walking from Torrey Pines away empty-handed.

The 24-year-old picked up 300 FedExCup points, pushing him to 346 for the season and placing him inside the top 10 in the standings for the first time in his career. Last season, Stanley didn't reach that point total until the AT&T National in early July, one week before his runner-up finish at the John Deere Classic.

In spite of the slow start to his 2011 rookie campaign, Stanley easily qualified for the PGATOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup and made it all the way to the BMW Championship. The former Clemson Tiger finished less than 150 points shy of qualifying for the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. With a quicker start this year, he's already in great position to live up to his preseason hype.

Stanley's 58-spot jump, however, didn't make him the biggest mover of the week. That honor goes to John Huh. The rookie traveled to Torrey Pines at No. 98 in the standings but his T6 finish allowed him to move all the way to 34th -- a 64-position leap.

Playing in the final group with Stanley and John Rollins, Huh was 3 over through four holes in his final round but was able to right the ship and play the final 14 holes at 1 under. His round was capped by a 60-foot birdie putt from the back fringe on the 72nd hole. Huh was the low rookie at Torrey Pines and moved atop PGATOUR.COM's Rookie Rankings following his stellar showing.

Joining Stanley in a new-look FedExCup top 10 are Snedeker (now No. 2) and Rollins, who moved to No. 8 after a third-place finish at Torrey Pines.

On the other end of the spectrum, Bo Van Pelt, Charlie Wi, Ryan Moore and Phil Mickelson were among the notables missing the cut at Torrey Pines and tumbling more than 20 spots down the standings. Those four, as well as Jeff Overton, are the players on this week's "Who's down" list that have are in the field at this week's Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Below are the biggest movers -- both up and down -- after the 2012 Farmers Insurance Open.
