Spaun Wins U.S. Open with Historic 65-Foot Putt

J.J. Spaun won his first major title at the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, overcoming a disastrous start and a rain delay to finish at one-under 279. Spaun delivered a remarkable birdie-birdie finish, including a dramatic 65-foot putt on the 18th hole—the longest putt of the week—to win by two shots. Robert MacIntyre of Scotland finished second and was praised for his sportsmanship, applauding Spaun's putt from the clubhouse. The final round featured a late five-way tie, with contenders Tyrrell Hatton, Sam Burns, Adam Scott, and Carlos Ortiz falling behind as Spaun surged ahead. The tournament was marked by challenging conditions, dramatic swings, and memorable moments of perseverance. Spaun's victory vaulted him from No. 119 to No. 8 in the world rankings and earned him $4.3 million from the $21.5 million purse.
