Straka Grateful To His Whole Team

Austrian gets second win of 2025 after Irish favourite Lowry falls short in final round

- 

FLOURTOWN - Sepp Straka had his entire team on his mind as his final putt dropped on May 11. He thought of his wife, his parents, his coaches, his usual caddie Duane Bock - out last week with a back injury - and his friend Drew Mathers, standing in on the bag. They all had a role to play in moulding him into a top-10 player.

The 32-year-old Austrian outlasted Ireland's Shane Lowry in a duel at the Philadelphia Cricket Club to win the Truist Championship and add a PGA Tour signature event to his growing resume. "This year has been pretty good to me," Straka said, reflecting on his second win of 2025. "Just really grateful for all the hard work from the people that don't get to stand on that 18th green and celebrate."

Straka and Lowry shared the lead after three rounds at the club's Wissahickon Course, and they stood tied at 16 under after 15 holes before Lowry lipped out a par putt at the par-three 16th.

Straka held steady the rest of the way in, carding a two-under 68 to finish 16-under 264 for the tournament.
