Spaun wins BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth"},"content":{"rendered":"

Fox earns \u20ac220,315 ($442,525) on his return to England since winning the Open Championship in July<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fox now heads back to the United States for the Presidents Cup which starts at Medinah Country Club in Illinois.<\/p>\n

For Spaun the victory sent a message after being left out of the US team for the Presidents Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cI played with a huge chip on my shoulder. I definitely had something to prove this week, but everything happens for a reason,\u201d Spaun said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to prove that I deserved to be on that team. I took care of my business this week, so all the best to my mates next week at Medinah, but I\u2019ll be on the couch watching,\u201d added the world No 17.<\/p>\n

Arnold Palmer and two-time winner Billy Horschel are the only other Americans to win the DP World Tour event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means so much. You know, I\u2019ve kind of blossomed into this player I never thought I could be, and to take my game across the world, and more specifically here in England, a place that\u2019s dear to my family\u2019s heart, we vacation here quite a bit,\u201d Spaun said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stars kind of aligned this week for me to come out on top, and I\u2019m just grateful to have the opportunity and play and play well and give myself a chance and came out with a W.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Hillier finished in a share of 36th at nine-under with Kazuma Kobori in 56th at five-under. Hillier remains in 12th on the season rankings, which would earn a PGA Tour card as it stands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fox earns \u20ac220,315 ($442,525) on his return to England since winning the Open Championship in July.
