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.
Cameron Young captured his second PGA Tour title at the Players Championship, closing with a 4-under 68 at TPC Sawgrass to finish at 13-under par—one stroke ahead of Matt Fitzpatrick. 54-hole leader Ludvig Åberg faltered badly with a 4-over 76, dropping into a tie for fifth at 9 under amid back-nine woes.
