Sepp Straka gets `nausea '', is numb in the middle of the victory of the Truist championship
After a week of entertainment at the Truist championship, Sepp Straka pulled a discipline of 2 sous 68 Sunday to enter the winner's circle for the second time this season and lift the trophy at the Philadelphia Cricket Club.
Straka survived a final couple with Shane Lowry after the two players entered the day at 14 subparameter. Lowry and Straka were shoulder to shoulder all around and were also on 16 sous with only three holes to play in regulation.
While Straka remained solid, peering on each of the last three holes, Lowry has vacillated. The Irishman made a bogey on the 16th hole par-3 and the 18th par-4 to finish two back.
Justin Thomas, looking for his second victory of the season, made a late charge before a Bogey on No. 16 ended his chances of winning. He finished two backs of Straka and equaled Lowry for second place.

After the Tour, Straka spoke of emotions to close such a big tournament.
“It's hard to eat, you just feel a little nauseous,” admitted Straka. “I can't smell your arms, your legs, whatever. You just fight, but that's a bit of what makes him fun. When you draw pictures with this feeling, it makes him really special.”
Straka now has two victories this season, just becoming the second winner in several times this season alongside Rory McILroy. He also won in January at the American Express.
He has also been a bit of a race for signature events so far this season. In addition to this victory, the Austrian recorded a top 15 in the players' championship and landed in the top five at Arnold Palmer Invitational.
His excellent game this season has made it alert to second row in the Fedex Cup classification, dragging McILroy.
This will give a lot of confidence to the confidence of 32 years before the PGA championship next week at the Quail Hollow Club. He missed the cup during the second major of the season in 2024, but had one of his best finishes in major with a T-7 at PGA in 2023.
With the form in which he is at the moment, Straka will enter the next major as a candidate for the black horse to fight for the title.
