Spaun Claims Second Valero Texas Open Title After MacIntyre Falls Short

JJ Spaun has secured his second Valero Texas Open title, finishing one shot ahead of Robert MacIntyre and Matt Wallace. The 2025 US Open champion made a remarkable comeback with three birdies and an eagle on the back nine, carding a 5-under 67 to reach 17 under. MacIntyre, who had been leading for much of the week, completed his storm-delayed third round with an even-par 72, retaining a one-shot lead going into the final round. However, Spaun's impressive finish set the target, and despite MacIntyre's late eagle, he was unable to match Spaun's total. The Scot's chances were dashed at the 18th hole when his birdie attempt fell short, securing Spaun's first victory since last year's US Open triumph. Spaun reflected on his win, stating that he had been trying to manage his expectations and take each day as it comes after a slow start to the season. He will now look to build on this momentum, while MacIntyre and Wallace will aim to bounce back from their narrow defeat.
