J.J. Spaun Wins 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont

J.J. Spaun staged a remarkable comeback to win the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont, overcoming five bogeys in his opening six holes and a rain delay to finish at 1-under par. His victory, sealed by a dramatic 65-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole, marked his first major championship title and earned him $4.3 million. Spaun's win elevated him from 25th to 8th in the Official World Golf Rankings and from 13th to 3rd in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings, overtaking Bryson DeChambeau. The triumph also secured him exemptions to future major tournaments and almost guaranteed his spot on the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup team. Spaun celebrated the victory with his family on Father’s Day, making the win especially memorable. Golf analysts praised his resilience, noting that a weather delay may have aided his mental reset during the final round.
