Spaun wins PGA Championship after final round of 67

J.J. Spaun disclosed that Brandt Snedeker informed him during a brief phone call that he would not be selected for the Presidents Cup team. Spaun, who triumphed at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, expressed his determination to prove himself after being left off the team despite being two shots back of the second-place finishers.

The decision came just weeks after Spaun had been excluded from the American Presidents Cup despite a respectable 10th place finish in the qualification standings. Spaun's success at Wentworth was particularly impressive, considering his history of struggling with injuries and the absence of scholarships or sponsor invite opportunities.

He acknowledged that his caddie had encouraged him during the challenging week, emphasizing that everything happens for a reason. While Spaun's omission may have been a setback, he remains optimistic and looks forward to competing in the upcoming team events.
