Sepp Straka was brilliant en route to a win at the American Express, but a loose shot and unlucky lie cost him a shot at PGA Tour history.

Straka, one of more than a dozen active PGA Tour players from the University of Georgia, followed up his third-round 64 with a 70 on Sunday at the Stadium Course and at 25-under-par 263 won The American Express by two shots over Justin Thomas (66).
