Straka holds off Lowry to win Truist C'ship; Jeeno claims Americas Open

Austrian Sepp Straka held off Ireland's Shane Lowry in an 18-hole duel, to win the PGA Tour's Truist Championship at Philadelphia Cricket Club on Sunday.

Straka's two-under round of 68 earned him a two-stroke win over Lowry and Justin Thomas who shared second place.

Lowry was in contention until the final hole, which he went into just a stroke behind playing partner Straka, but he three-putted for bogey while Straka made par.

Straka, who moved from Austria to Georgia aged 14, secured his fourth career win on the PGA Tour and his second this season following his victory at The American Express.

Rory Mcllroy is the only other player to have multiple wins on the PGA Tour so far this season.

The Truist was the sixth signature event of the season and Straka's win comes ahead of the season's second major, the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow which gets underway on Thursday.

Straka and Lowry went into Sunday's final round sharing the lead, but the burly Irishman quickly got ahead with a birdie on the par-four opening hole where he sank a 13-foot putt after a fine approach shot.
