Sepp Straka Claims Victory at The American Express with Dominant Performance

The Austrian golfer secured his third PGA Tour win with a wire-to-wire lead, finishing two shots ahead of Justin Thomas.

Sepp Straka won The American Express golf tournament in La Quinta, California, with a final score of 25-under 263.
This marks Straka's third career PGA Tour victory and his first since becoming a father in December 2023.
Straka maintained a four-shot lead entering the final round and overcame late bogeys to secure a two-shot win over runner-up Justin Thomas.
The 31-year-old Austrian credited his aggressive play and focus under pressure, inspired by a quote from Georgia football coach Kirby Smart.
Justin Thomas, Jason Day, and Justin Lower rounded out the top finishers, with Day achieving his first top-three finish since 2023.
