J.J. Spaun Wins Valero Texas Open by One Shot

J.J. Spaun captured his third PGA Tour title with a one-shot victory at the Valero Texas Open on Sunday, closing with a five-under-par 67 at TPC San Antonio to finish at 17-under 271 and end a four-month winless streak.

The 35-year-old American, who entered the final round two shots behind leader Robert MacIntyre, navigated cold, windy and wet conditions to pull ahead late. Spaun birdied the par-three 16th with a tee shot to three feet, then drove the 306-yard par-four 17th green to set up a 10-foot eagle putt that gave him the outright lead. He sealed the win with a par on the par-five 18th, holding off challengers who finished in the fading light.

MacIntyre, who completed a storm-delayed third round early Sunday before posting an even-par 72 in the final, closed with a 70 to tie for second at 16-under. He joined England's Matt Wallace, who shot 68, and American Michael Kim, who carded 69, in that spot. Sweden's Ludvig Aberg and Andrew Putnam shared fifth at 15-under, with Putnam bogeying the 18th after a wedge into the bunker that cost him a playoff chance.

Spaun's triumph marked his second at the Valero Texas Open, following his first PGA Tour win here in 2022. It came a year...
