Melton Wins Event No. 5 of PGA Tournament Series
It's not often when you start the final round tied for the lead and shoot even par that you get to lift the trophy. But that's what happened to Brett Melton on Friday at PGA Golf Club. He shot a 72 to win Event No. 5 of the PGA Tournament Series by two shots over Rod Perry, Frank Bensel and Adam Rainaud. Melton finished at 4-under 140 to earn $5,000 for his third career PGA Tournament Series title.

What Will the Future PGA Tour Schedule Look Like?
You can mark time by the cadence of the PGA Tour schedule. If it's January, the boys are in Hawaii. February is the West Coast swing. March brings the Sunshine State, the Masters anchors spring, and so on and so on. The generally static calendar has flaws, sure, but its rhythm and regularity provided a comfort to players and fans alike.
All this explains why, when word spread in 2017 of an upcoming schedule change, it was not as much a shake-up as it was a seismic wave.
