Smalley ties for 14th in Texas

The final-day charge Alex Smalley needed to win and earn a spot in the Masters never materialized Sunday at the Valero Texas Open.

The Jamestown golfer, who played at Duke, finished with two rounds of 71 for 10-under-par 278 to finish in a tie for 14th place seven shots behind winner J.J. Spaun.

Smalley entered the day at 8-under with 29 holes to play in the storm-interrupted tournament.
