Sepp Straka boatraced his closest competitors for most of the back nine at the Pete Dye Stadium Course at PGA West Sunday afternoon in the closing round of T. With a relatively comfortable lead, he could even afford two bogeys on the final three holes – his first of the 72-hole tournament – before closing it out with a two-putt for his third career PGA Tour victory.
The 31-year-old Austrian won the American Express at PGA West without carding a bogey until the 70th hole of the tournament.
Straka made a bogey on the par-5 16th hole Sunday, his first of the week in the desert, and then added a bogey on the par-4 18th. All that kept him from reaching the tournament scoring record set by Nick Dunlap last year.
Sepp Straka shot an 8-under 64 on Saturday while his top competitors failed to match his sizzling pace, staking the Austrian to a four-shot lead.
