For the fourth time in his PGA Tour career, Austria’s Sepp Straka is a champion. On Sunday, Straka posted a four round score of -16, and won the 2025 Truist Championship at the Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon Course in Flourtown, Pennsylvania.
Straka had a first round score of seven-under-par 63, a second round score of three-under-par 67, a third round score of four-under-par 66, and a fourth round score of two-under-par 68. During the tournament, Straka had one eagle. It came on the fifth hole in the final round. Straka posted a score of three. His tee shot was 320 yards. That was followed by a 222 yard approach shot, and a birdie that went 20 feet and one inch.
Two major champions finished in second place. The golfers who were two strokes back were American Justin Thomas and Ireland’s Shane Lowry at -14. Lowry won the 2019 British Open. and Thomas won the 2017 and 2022 PGA Championship.
It is fair to say that Straka is the best Austrian golfer of all-time. The native of Vienna previously won the 2022 Honda Classic, the 2023 John Deere Classic, and the 2025 American Express title.
In the Official Golf rankings, Straka moved into the top 10. He jumped eight spots from 17th to ninth.
The Truist Championship (formerly known as the Wells Fargo Championship) usually takes place at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. The tournament was moved this year to Pennsylvania because Quail Hollow is hosting the PGA Championship for the second time starting Thursday. If you are a betting man, consider Thomas, who won his first major title there eight years ago, and finished second to Straka on Sunday.
