Sepp Straka clinched his third PGA TOUR title with a two-shot victory at The American Express in California on Sunday.
Heading into the final round with a four-shot lead, the Austrian was able to hold his nerve despite two late dropped shots to get across the line, carding a 70 to finish at 25 under.
Speaking after his win, the 2023 Ryder Cup winner said: “Nerves, just complete nerves.
“Stomach in a knot, the whole nine. So, yeah, just really excited about the way I handled the pressure today.
"It was very intimidating, obviously, because every hole you know you got a chance to make a double, a bogey, everywhere you look."
The 31-year-old finished just clear of Justin Thomas, the man who beat him in the singles at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, who put the pressure on with an early charge.
The American picked up five shots on the front nine but was only able to birdie one hole on the run home as he ultimately fell just short.
