Straka battled down the stretch but ultimately ended a tournament standing atop a leaderboard for the second time in 2025

Sepp Straka has become exactly the golfer that instructor John Tillery envisioned the first time he played with him during a practice round with one of his other pupils. “I don’t want to sound like some weird prophet but I knew he could be this good because I saw it the first few times we played with him that this guy was the real deal.

Sepp Straka seized the lead with a par at the 16th hole and shot a 2-under 68, outdueling Shane Lowry in the final round of the Truist Championship at Philadelphia Cricket Club for his second victory of the season.
