UTA men's golf coach Stuart Deane posted a 4-under par 140 to finish fourth at the Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship this week at The Lakes at Castle Hills in Lewisville.

The top 8 finishers qualified for next June's PGA Professional Championship at Bayonet Black Horse in Seaside, Calif.  Deane, however, had already qualified for next year's event due to his top-20 finish this year and his participation in the PGA Championship earlier this month.

The top 20 players from the 2018 PGA Professional Championship will compete in the 100th PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Mo., scheduled for August 6-12, 2018.
