BOISE, Idaho -- Kevin Stadler wrapped up a PGA Tour card for next season, winning the Boise Open on Sunday for his second Nationwide Tour title in two months.

Stadler, the 26-year-old son of Champions Tour star Craig Stadler, closed with a 5-under 66 for a one-stroke victory over Glen Day.

Also a one-stroke winner over Day in early August in the Xerox Classic in Rochester, N.Y., Stadler has four career Nationwide Tour wins. He also won the Argentina Open in December and the Johnnie Walker Classic -- sanctioned by the European, Australasian and Asian tours -- in February in Australia.

"At the beginning of the year I could play everywhere in the world except where I wanted to play," Stadler said. "It's nice to have some options."

Stadler earned $117,000 to jump from 18th to third on the money list with $286,407, with the top 20 at the end of the season earning 2007 PGA Tour cards. He also moved within a victory of an immediate promotion to the big tour.

"I honestly don't know what I'll do from here on," Stadler said. "I haven't had two consecutive weeks off all year. Maybe I'll take a vacation."

Stadler birdied Nos. 15-17 and closed with a par for a tournament-record 20-under 264 total on the Hillcrest Country Club course.

"I don't know if I ever get really nervous, but my concentration definitely peaks when I feel like that," Stadler said. "The putts I hit on 16 and 17, it was almost like a mini-tunnel vision. I think that was a little bit of adrenaline and a little bit of pressure. It's kind of comforting. It's strange in a way, but it definitely helps me. I wish it could be that way all the time, but it seems my concentration gets a lot better when I know what I have to do."

Day closed with a 65, missing a 4-foot birdie putt on the par-5 16th.

"I gave Kevin one on a silver platter. I know it. Kevin knows it. Everyone knows it," said Day, who double-bogeyed the 72nd hole in the Xerox Classic. "Today, I did the best I could do. I played solid. I didn't make a bogey. Yes, I'd like to have that putt back on the par-5, but I don't feel like I hit a bad putt."

Jason Allred (66) of Ashland, Ore., finished third at 17 under, Scott Dunlap (67) was another stroke back and third-round Mario Tiziani (73) was fifth at 14 under.
