Straka first Austrian PGA tournament winner after victory in Florida

Historic day for Austria’s golf sport: The Austro-American Sepp Straka won the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens and thus not only clinched his first victory on the prestigious PGA Tour, but also ensured the first success of an Austrian. The 28-year-old will pocket around $1.44 million (€1.28 million) from the lavish prize money at the event in the US state of Florida. Styrian Matthias Schwab finished the tournament on Sunday in seventh place.
