CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Former Chattanooga Mocs All-American (2012) Stephan Jaeger finished tied for eighth at Web.com Tour Qualifying school Tuesday with a final-round 65 (-6).

Jaeger was tied for 28th entering the day. He dropped into a tie for 45th after a bogey on 6 and a double on 7, which made him 1-over for the day and 7-under overall. He made the turn at that number and proceeded on a birdie binge, first at 10 then at 12 through 14. He was 3-under for the day through 15 before closing with three straight birds for the 65.
