Sepp Straka finishes fifth at PGA tournament in Fort Worth!
Golf pro Sepp Straka has finished the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth in 5th place, his third top 10 finish in five weeks!
The 31-year-old from Vienna played a par round (70 strokes) on Sunday and finished the PGA Tour tournament with a total of five under par (275). Austria's number 1 took home 323,618 dollars in prize money (just under 300,000 euros). US-American Davis Riley took the victory with 14 under par. Although Straka had to accept two bogeys on the last two holes in Texas, his ranking would not have changed with par holes.
Tournament overshadowed by Murray's death
Alongside winner Riley, who arrived at the clubhouse with a five-shot lead over his closest rivals, only the top US golfers Scottie Scheffler, Keegan Bradley and Collin Morikawa finished ahead of the ÖGV ace. The tournament had previously been overshadowed by the death of US golfer Grayson Murray.
Straka, who moved up one position in the world rankings to 21st place with the top 5 result, will next tee off in ten days' time at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio, which is worth 20 million dollars. The third major tournament of the year, the US Open, gets underway the following week.
