J.J. Spaun captured his third PGA Tour victory—and second at the Valero Texas Open—finishing at 17-under par at TPC San Antonio. He sealed the win on the par-4 17th with an eagle from a clutch Titleist GT3 driver tee shot that rolled out to 10 feet, then parred the tough 18th. Spaun navigated a marathon final day in windy, cold, and wet conditions, playing his last 27 holes in 9-under par to earn $1.764 million from the $9.8 million purse.
J.J. Spaun, the 2025 U.S. Open champion, turned down a request from the USGA to donate his victory putter to their archives. The putter was key to his dramatic winning birdie at Oakmont Country Club last June. Instead, Spaun provided his driver as a substitute.
