Golf Straka takes advantage of Lowry’s slip up in Philadelphia

SEPP Straka claimed the Truist Championship title as Shane Lowry suffered a late collapse in Philadelphia.

- 

The pair, Ryder Cup colleagues in 2023, had shared the lead at 14-under heading into the final round over the Wissahickon Course at Flourtown, and continued to fight it out for top spot.

Irishman Lowry, though, saw his hopes fade over the closing holes, with a bogey at the par-three 16th followed by another after a three-putt from 20 feet on the last - where a birdie could have seen him into a play-off.

Straka was then left to tap in from four feet for par, sealing a fourth PGA Tour title and his second this year, having also won the American Express Championship in January.
