  "account": "J.J. Spaun triumphed at the BMW PGA Championship in England, his debut on the European tour. The American golfer expressed his discontent over not being picked for the U.S. Presidents Cup team, but his frustration turned into success when he made four birdies on the final five holes, finishing with a 5-under 67 and securing a two-shot victory. Spaun, the U.S. Open champion from last year, has now claimed three victories in the year. Manuel Elvira's crucial 9-foot eagle on the par-5 17th hole tied Spaun for the lead, making him need birdie on the last hole to secure the win. Elvira's poor tee shot into a bunker, followed by another into a bunker and a double bogey, resulted in a 70, tying him with Masters champion Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, and PGA champion Aaron Rai.",
