J.J. Spaun captured his third PGA Tour victory at the 2026 Valero Texas Open, finishing at 17-under par at TPC San Antonio. He navigated a marathon final day in windy, cold and wet conditions, playing his last 27 holes in 9-under par. Spaun earned $1.764 million from the $9.8 million purse.
Spaun birdied the par-3 16th and eagled the par-4 17th with a 9-foot putt after driving the green, taking a one-shot lead that held up. Robert MacIntyre and Ludvig Åberg led entering Sunday, but Matt Wallace posted 16-under with a final-round 68, while Michael Kim, MacIntyre and Andrew Putnam tied for second at 16-under, each receiving $741,533. No one matched Spaun's total on the challenging day. Spaun, who also won this event previously, ranked second in Strokes Gained: Approach, gaining 6.7 shots with his irons. His bag featured Srixon ZXi irons customized with unique lengths and lies, TaylorMade Qi10 woods, Titleist GT3 driver and a new L.A.B. Golf DF3 putter. “I switched to L.A.B. and had an amazing season, including a U.S. Open win. I love working with the L.A.B. guys,” Spaun said in announcing the partnership. He was the first to win a major with a Lie Angle Balanced putter last year at Oakmont.
