With rounds of 63-67-66-68, Straka edged out Justin Thomas and Shane Lowry by two strokes in a tightly contested leaderboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 32 years old, Straka\u2019s win marks his second of the season\u2014joining Rory McIlroy as the only multiple winners on TOUR in 2025. He now moves to No. 2 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pgatour.com\/fedexcup\" title=\"\">FedExCup standings<\/a>, collecting 700 points and solidifying his rise toward the top tier of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This victory continues Sepp Straka\u2019s strong showing in Signature Events this season, with five top-15 finishes in the first six. He also successfully converted his second 54-hole lead of the year, thanks in large part to an exceptional week with the putter, finishing second in the field in Strokes Gained: Putting (8.660), despite being ranked 63rd in that category entering the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I felt like I did a really good job today of just taking every shot for what it is,\u201d Straka said. \u201cI looked at the leaderboards, but I didn&#8217;t really pay too much attention. I knew if I executed, I&#8217;d have a chance.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sepp Straka receives congratulatory hug from fellow golfer Justin Thomas as he turns his score card in to finalize his place as winner of the 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/truistchampionship?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#truistchampionship<\/a>.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/pgatour?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#pgatour<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/golf?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#golf<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/D5wLenQBO1\">pic.twitter.com\/D5wLenQBO1<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Double Take Sports (@dbltakesports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dbltakesports\/status\/1921701133485039631?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 11, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Sepp Straka Wins 2025 Truist Championship | Fourth PGA TOUR Victory\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S9S3s3g3IKA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shane Lowry, who held a share of the 54-hole lead with Straka, faltered late with bogeys on holes 16 and 18, finishing in a tie for second at 14-under.
