Spaun began the final round two shots behind MacIntyre. An eagle at the short par-four 17th moved him to 17 under, and he parred the last. MacIntyre also eagled the 17th but missed a birdie attempt at the 18th that would have forced a playoff. PGA Tour report
It was Spaun’s third PGA Tour title, following the 2022 Valero Texas Open and the 2025 U.S. Open. He won in the final PGA Tour event before the Masters.
The Texas victory does not award 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup qualifying points. Under the selection criteria announced on September 9, the American points race begins at The American Express in January 2027. PGA of America
