SURREY, England -- Former San Diego State men’s golfer J.J. Spaun won the BMW PGA Championship on Sunday, for his second victory of the season and fourth of his career.
Spaun birdied four of his final five holes to sign for a 5-under-par 67 and finish at 17-under 271 on the par-72, 7,267-yard Wentworth Golf Club in Surrey, England. Spaun finished two shots of Rory McIlroy, Aaron Rai, Adam Scott and Manuel Elvira.
Spaun finished under par in all four rounds with a 70, 66, 68 and 67.
Spaun also won the Valero Texas Open in April for the second time after claiming the 2022 title for his first career PGA TOUR victory. Spaun later captured the 2025 U. S. Open at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.
Spaun entered the weekend as the 17th-ranked player in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR).
Spaun twice received All-America recognition by both the (GCAA) and Golfweek during his time at San Diego State (2009-12). He captured five individual tournament crowns during his career at SDSU, which is tied for most in school history with Aztec Hall of Famer Lennie Clements.
In addition, Spaun earned Mountain West Player of the Year honors as a senior in 2012 and garnered three straight all-conference accolades. He concluded that season ranked 17th nationally by Golfstat.com and 21st by Golfweek after leading SDSU to its best-ever Division I team finish with a fifth-place tie in the match-play phase at the NCAA Championships.
San Diego State wraps up its fall season at the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate, Sept. 25-26, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
