The other players with May wins were Sergio Garcia at Colonial and David Toms at the FedEx St. Jude. Garcia's win was enough to nail down the #3 spot with 236.86 points but Tom's win was not enough to surpass Tiger Woods for the 4th spot. While Toms' 6-stroke victory in Memphis was certainly impressive, unfortunately the FedEx event could only muster 12 of the top-50 QPI rated players and thus was worth only 147+ points for Toms. Woods on the other hand did not have a victory in the month, but did post a T3 at the Wachovia and a T4 at the EDS for a monthly total of 180.17
As it turns out Flesch had the May Player of the Month wrapped even before the months last event in Memphis was contested. Going into the last week Flesch had a lead of 152+ points over then #8 Robert Damron, the only contender participating in the FedEx. Even a victory by Damron, who ended up finishing in a tie for 41st, wouldn't have been enough to surpass Flesch for the lead.
Flesch becomes the 5th different player to win a Player of the Month for the season. Previous winners were Jonathan Kaye in January, Tiger Woods in February, Adam Scott in March and Phil Mickelson in April.

Criteria for Golf Rank Index - Player of the Month
The Golf Rank Index (GRI) - Player of the Month is determined by totaling GRI ranking points earned in all GRI ranked professional golf events scheduled within a months time frame. Events that bridge a months end or beginning of another, are generally placed in the month in which they end, but may be shifted to the prior month to balance the number of events to be ranked in each month. In the event of a first place tie, co-winners will be named.
Eligibility - All players participating in GRI ranked events are eligible. They do not need to be a member of any professional golf tour.
Must Win - To be named a player of the month, the player MUST have a win in a GRI ranked event in the month. Should any player without a win earn the highest number of GRI ranking points for a given month, the player will be placed behind the highest ranked player with a win.
