AUSTIN, Texas – Former Texas players Cody Gribble, Brad Elder, Russell Surber and Toni Hakula have advanced past the second stage of the PGA web.com Tour School.

Hakula, competing in Brooksville, Fla., finished in a tie for 18th, while Surber tied for 13th in Houston, Texas.
"I'm always thrilled with our former players' success in golf, in business and with their families," Head Coach John Fields said. "To see four of our alumni get through the final stage of the PGA web.com Tour School is exhilarating."
The four players will advance to the final stage on Thursday, Dec. 11 through Sunday, Dec. 14 at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
In the third and final stage, players are awarded a web.com tour card. Each PGA Tour event takes the lowest 156 numbers.
"Our program is special and the players make it that way," Fields said. "Pearl and I are super happy for Brad, Cody, Russell and Toni."
