Sepp Straka will head to the PGA Championship on a victorious uptick, having won the Truist Championship Sunday evening. With a final-round 68, the 32-year-old fended off a talent-rich leaderboard that included a resurgent Justin Thomas, Shane Lowry, Patrick Cantlay and Tommy Fleetwood. The win was Straka's fourth and second in 2025, and he is expected to move into the Official World Golf Ranking's top 10. He will also head to Charlotte with a positive vibe for Quail Hollow Club. A year ago, he finished T8 at the Wells Fargo Championship.
