South African Brenden Pappas is on "THE 25" bubble for the second week in a row. Argentina's Miguel Carballo reversed his slide for the first time in eight tournaments, moving up three positions to No. 24 with a T10 finish in Midland, Texas, over the weekend.

Dropping three spots and $432 out of "THE 25" to 26th was University of Georgia product Franklin Langham. Rhode Island native Brad Adamonis has made the biggest jump toward "THE 25" the last two weeks going from 88th to 30th thanks to his WNB Golf Classic win and a T5 in the Mark Christropher Charity Classic.

Lanny Wadkins' nephew Ron Whittaker is only two spots outside "THE 25" after his Midland playoff appearance on Sunday. Australian Greg Chalmers spoiled a golden opportunity on Sunday when he finished T15 after being tied for the lead starting the day. He wound up dropping three spots to 38th.

The Nationwide Tour is in Tennessee this week for the Chattanooga Classic presented by Black Creek.
