Truist Championship: "Sepp Straka can flat out play"; "Best trophy" – Fans react to Austrian star winning the Truist Championship 2025

Sepp Straka fired a 2-under 68 in the final round to claim the Truist Championship 2025. He finished at 16-under to post a two-shot win over Justin Thomas and Shane Lowry.

Straka entered the final day of action at the Philadelphia Cricket Club's Wissahickon Course with a 54-hole lead. After making four straight pars, he eagled the fifth and then picked up three birdies against three bogeys to finish at 2-under.

Shane Lowry had a shot at his first individual win in over two years, but he bogeyed two of the last three holes. This marks Straka's second win on the PGA Tour this season, having previously won The American Express earlier this year.
