World No 294 lets victory slip in agonising fashionJJ Spaun triumphs by two shots at WentworthWe’ll come to JJ Spaun and Jeremy Clarkson later. Only those without an ounce of compassion in their body could feel no sympathy for Manuel…
American golfer JJ Spaun won the PGA Championship at Wentworth's West Course after Spain's Manuel Elvira suffered a dramatic collapse on the final hole. Elvira, who was ranked 294th in the world, needed a birdie on the par-five 18th to win or a par to force a playoff. Instead, he carded a double-bogey to finish in a four-way tie for second place.
Spaun claimed a two-shot victory on his tournament debut, stating he played with a chip on his shoulder after being left out of the US Presidents Cup team. The victory marks another major achievement for Spaun, boosting his prospects for future Ryder Cup selection.
