Overview

  • Sepp Straka shot a 2-under 68 in the final round to finish at 16-under, winning the Truist Championship by two strokes over Shane Lowry and Justin Thomas.
  • Lowry, tied with Straka entering the final round, faltered with late bogeys on the 16th and 18th holes, settling for a second-place tie after a final-round 70.
  • The victory marks Straka’s second PGA Tour win of 2025, following his January triumph at The American Express, and his fourth career title overall.
  • Justin Thomas made a late push with a 67 but could not overcome Straka's steady finish, tying Lowry at 14-under for second place.
  • Defending champion Rory McIlroy finished tied for seventh at 10-under and now turns his attention to the upcoming PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
