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.
Stallings has played in nine events on tour this season, and has made three cuts. In addition to his third and 11th-place finishes, he finished 42nd in the Puerto Rico Open.
Stallings played parts of the past four seasons on the Nationwide Tour. He played in 28 Nationwide events in 2010, making 19 cuts and winning $127,606.
This season on the PGA tour, Stallings ranks better than the tour average in several key stats, including scoring average and driving distance.
Heading into first round of The Heritage tournament on April 21, Stallings stood 11th on tour in driving distance, averaging 298.4 yards on 42 measured drives. The tour average is 285.6 yards.
