Michael Thompson wins Boise Open to regain PGA Tour card

BOISE, Idaho - Michael Thompson won the Web.com Tour Finals' Albertson Boise Open on Sunday at Hillcrest Country Club to regain a PGA Tour card.

Thompson finished with his second straight 7-under 64, birdieing five of the first seven holes on the back nine, for a three-stroke victory over Argentina's Miguel Angel Carballo.

The 31-year-old Thompson finished at 23-under 261 and earned $180,000 in the second of four events that will determine 25 PGA Tour cards. He won the 2013 Honda Classic for his lone PGA Tour title.

Carballo eagled the par-5 second hole in a 66. He earned $108,000 to also wrap up a PGA Tour card.

Grayson Murray was third at 18 under after a 64. England's Andrew ''Beef'' Johnston (68) was 17 under, both also earning more than enough to secure PGA Tour cards.

The series features the top 75 players from the Web.com money list, Nos. 126-200 in the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup standings - Thompson was 145th - and non-members with enough PGA Tour money to have placed in the top 200 in the FedEx Cup had they been eligible.

The top 25 players on the Web.com regular-season money list earned PGA Tour cards. They are competing against each other for tour priority, with regular-season earnings counting in their totals. The other players are fighting for 25 cards based on series earnings. Last year, Rob Oppenheim got the last PGA Tour card with $32,206. In 2014, Eric Axley was 25th at $36,312.

Three-time PGA Tour winner Scott Stallings (71) tied for fifth at 16 under with Ryan Blaum (64) and Canada's Mackenzie Hughes (68). Tied with Thompson for the third-round lead, Stallings eagled the par-5 16th and made a double bogey on the par-4 18th. He also has made enough money in the first two events to regain his PGA Tour card after finishing 128th in the FedEx Cup standings.
