Fifth in Orlando
Straka now holds 21.6 million dollars!
Another top result for Sepp Straka! The golf pro finished fifth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, collecting exactly 800,000 dollars in prize money. This puts him at 3.7 million dollars in prize money for the still young season, while his career prize money on the PGA Tour currently stands at 21.6 million dollars. And above all, he is again first in the FedExCup!
Austria's golf fans love Sepp Straka. Week after week, he shines in an absolute world sport in the best league in the world. In Orlando, the 31-year-old finished the mega event with prize money of 20 million dollars with a round of 69 (three under par). In previous years, the Viennese had never managed anything on the extremely difficult course. This year, he also got the hang of it at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club and Lodge.
And he could have done much better. After all, the right-hander completely messed up the opening round with 77 strokes. And he also lost three shots on the last nine holes of the final round. Particularly annoying: on the 17th hole, spectators disturbed him massively in the middle of his shot, which led to a bogey. The TV commentators got really upset about these "fans".
Henley still caught Morikawa
The victory went to the American Russell Henley, who caught his compatriot Collin Morikawa. The decisive factor was an eagle from Henley on the 16th hole. In the end, both were shaky and both finished the tournament with a bogey. But that was enough for Henley, who won by one stroke in the end. This puts him in second place in the FedExCup, the PGA Tour's season ranking. But Sepp Straka is first again! That cannot be overestimated!
