Matthew Riedel, a recent Vanderbilt graduate, has secured a spot on the PGA Tour after finishing T4 with a 4-under total at the Q-School Final Stage in Ponte Vedra, Florida, alongside Alistair Docherty, who is also vying for his first Tour card. Riedel's consistent performance included rounds of 68-69-67-72, making him the only player to shoot under par in all three rounds leading up to the final day. Meanwhile, Jake Hall, a Tennessee graduate and 2023 Tennessee State Amateur winner, is fighting to improve his standing after shooting a 2-over 72, placing him T71 after the opening round. The top five finishers at Q-School will gain PGA Tour cards for the 2025 season, while the next 40 will earn Korn Ferry Tour status.
