Former Tennessee Tech golfer Scott Stallings recently recorded another top 25 finish and has moved into the top 74 in earnings and FedEx Cup points on the PGA tour.

Stallings, a 2007 graduate of TTU, fired a final-round 67, the lowest round of the day, in the Valero Texas Open to finish tied for 11th. Earlier in the season, he finished third in the Transitions Championship, playing on a sponsor’s exemption.

The 11th-place paycheck raised Stallings’ 2011 money total to $521,661, and gave him 266 FedEx points, ranking 75th and 74th, respectively on the tour.
