Sepp Straka shot an 8-under 64 on while his top competitors failed to match his sizzling pace at The American Express.

The final round is in the books, and Sepp Straka played nearly flawless golf en route to his third PGA Tour victory.

Sepp Straka won The American Express by two shots over Justin Thomas. The 31-year-old Austrian finished his third career PGA Tour victory at 25-under 263 with a final-round 70.

The win earned the 31-year-old Straka his first title since the 2023 John Deere Classic and the $1,584,000 first-place check, the largest of his career.

The Austrian completed a virtually blemish-free week with a two-under 70 to claim his first PGA Tour title since the 2023 John Deere Classic

The 31-year-old Austrian won the American Express at PGA West without carding a bogey until the 70th hole of the tournament.

Straka’s round at La Quinta in many ways was the reverse of what might have been expected. Playing the back nine first, Straka made six birdies on the way to a 30, the kind of score generally associated with the front nine at the course that opened in 1959.

Sepp Straka notched his third PGA Tour title with a rock-solid performance, which included just two bogeys all week.
