J.J. Spaun wins Europe’s flagship event after being left off US Presidents Cup team
J.J. Spaun won the BMW PGA Championship in England after being left off the U.S. Presidents Cup team, making four birdies on the final five holes for a 5-under 67 and claiming a two-shot victory in his first European tour event. Spaun, who was the U.S. Open champion last year, expressed his determination to prove his worth despite the setback.
His victory was bolstered by the strong performance of his playing partner, Manuel Elvira, who made a crucial 9-foot eagle on the par-5 17th to tie Spaun for the lead and find himself in a four-way tie for second with Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, and Aaron Rai at the end of the tournament.
