Fathauer finished with a 2-under 68 for a one-stroke victory over Zac Blair. The 28-year-old former Louisville player earned $180,000 for his first professional victory to push his Finals total to $250,133.

Fathauer has already earned a PGA Tour card with a top-25 finish on the Web.com Tour’s regular-season money list. By topping the Finals money list, he earned fully exempt status for the 2014-15 PGA Tour season and a spot in The Players Championship.

The other players fought for another 25 cards based on their earnings in the series.

Spokane’s Alex Prugh finished at No. 41 among the 50 earning cards after shooting a final round of 69 for a 4-under total of 276.
