HAYWARD, Calif. - Stephan Jaeger never took his foot off the gas in his drive to earn his first Web.com Tour victory.
He broke one record and tied another Sunday in the Ellie Mae Classic, finishing his four-day scoring frenzy at TPC Stonebrae at 30-under-par 250.
The 27-year-old German - who played at Baylor School and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - broke Steve Wheatcroft's 72-hole stroke record of 255 set in the 2011 Melwood Prince George's County Open, and he tied Daniel Chopra's mark for relation to par set in the 2004 Henrico County Open.
Jaeger started the record spree Thursday with a 12-under 58 that broke the Web.com Tour mark and matched the lowest score on a substantial pro tour. He followed with rounds of 65, 64 and 63, parring the final three holes Sunday for a seven-stroke victory over Rhein Gibson.
"That putt on the last, it really opened up a different world. It's cool. It really is," Jaeger said in a story on the Web.com Tour website.
"Having records like that, you can look back when you're done playing, it's a cool feeling to have. Weeks like this don't happen very often. You've just got to go back every day and do your best each day. This game will kill you if you get too far ahead of yourself. I'm just going to do what I do every week, and see what comes out."
Along the way to his first tour title, Jaeger also broke tour records with his 36- and 54-hole totals. He earned $108,000 to jump from 102nd to 20th on the money list with $139,793, with the top 25 at the end of the season earning PGA Tour cards.
Jaeger birdied five of the first nine holes Sunday, hitting a wedge to 3 feet on the par-4 first and a 6-iron to 1 1/2 feet on the par-3 second. He made a downhill 15-footer on the par-3 fourth, hit a 9-iron to 3 feet on the par-4 seventh and two-putted the par-5 ninth for his fifth birdie.
He also birdied 14 and 15, chipping to 4 feet on the par-4 14th and two-putting the par-5 15th. On the par-4 18th, he missed a 15-foot birdie try.
Jaeger came to the United States as a foreign exchange student in 2006. He was a three-time Southern Conference player of the year at UTC, playing his final season with the Mocs in 2012.
Gibson birdied five of the last seven holes for a 62. Brandon Hagy (64) and Xander Schauffele (65) tied for third at 21 under.
Former Athens, Tenn. resident Eric Axley and Baylor Alum Keith Mitchell were part of a six-way tie for seventh at 264, and former Dalton (Ga.) High School golfer Blake Adams shared 31st at 270. All three closed with a 68.
