Kramer Hickok of Dallas, Texas wrapped up Mackenzie Tour Player of the Year honors on Sunday, finishing with $122,502 in earnings on the season to top the Order of Merit and lead five players who earned status on the Web.com Tour for 2018.

Hickok produced a remarkable season that included two wins and three runner-up finishes and led five players who made the next step on the path to the PGA TOUR, finishing $32,209 ahead of No. 2 Robby Shelton of Wilmer, Alabama. Joining Hickok and Shelton in The Five were No. 3 Johnny Ruiz of Camarillo, California, No. 4 Patrick Newcomb of Benton, Kentucky and No. 5 Rico Hoey of Rancho Cucamonga, California, who won the season-ending Freedom 55 Financial Championship to move into the final spot in The Five.

The Five will graduate to the Web.com Tour in 2018 and look to follow in the footsteps of 19 players who have gone on from the Mackenzie Tour on the PGA TOUR during the PGA TOUR era (2013-present), including PGA TOUR winners Mackenzie Hughes, Nick Taylor and Tony Finau.

Newcomb fired a final round 68 and finished tied for 25th at the season-ending Freedom 55 Financial Championship. He finished with $82,824 in earnings.
