JJ Spaun Wins First Major US Open at Oakmont Amid Rain Delay

JJ Spaun captured his first major championship by winning the US Open at Oakmont Country Club, finishing at 1-under par and two shots ahead of Scotland's Robert MacIntyre. Despite a challenging final round marked by heavy rain and a 96-minute weather delay, Spaun rallied from a difficult start that included five bogeys in six holes. He took the outright lead with a remarkable drive on the 17th hole and sealed his victory by sinking a 64-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole, the longest of the tournament. Spaun was the only player to finish under par, while several leaders, including Sam Burns and Adam Scott, faltered in the adverse weather conditions. The win came in only Spaun's second US Open appearance, highlighting his resilience and skill in tough conditions. His performance stood out on a day when many contenders struggled, cementing his status as a major champion.
