Spaun posted a two-day total of two-under at the Texas Children's Houston Open to miss the cut by one stroke.
Spaun got off to a slow start with an over-par opening round and four birdies Friday wasn't enough for him to make the weekend with the scores being low at Memorial Park. He did gain over four strokes on approach for the two rounds but lost shots in the other strokes gained categories. It's only Spaun's second missed cut across 10 starts this year.
Spaun was defeated by Rory McIlroy in a three-hole aggregate playoff at THE PLAYERS Championship following an even-par 72 in the final round.
Spaun came into the final round holding the 54-hole lead looking for the first real signature win of his career. It got off to a bit of a bumpy start with bogeys on two of the first eight holes. It was a struggle for everyone on Sunday with wind, rain and later some lightning that caused a lengthy delay. Spaun came out ofter the break and added birdies at 14 and 16 to get back to 12-under-par and tie Rory McIlroy. Needing a birdie on 18 for the win, Spaun's putt ended just a rotation shy of dropping. It would force a playoff that would be contested Monday morning with impeding darkness. Spaun had a shaky start and was unable to birdie the downwind par-5 16th. He then stepped up to the par-3 17th and carved his iron shot right through the wind and over the green into the water. It would lead to a triple-bogey and pretty much end things with still one hole left to play. It certainly will be a tough memory to look back upon, but Spaun still has a lot that he can take out of this week. This is his third top-three finish of the season as he continues to hunt his second career PGA Tour win (2022 Valero Texas Open).
