JJ. Spaun holds off Robert MacIntyre to win dramatic U.S. Open 2025 title for first major trophy.
What a way to win your first major.
On the 18th hole, J.J. Spaun could have taken two putts to secure victory with his ball was 64-feet away from the cup. But he only needed one, sinking the shot in from long distance to secure the title.
Spaun and the crowd on hand were in a frenzy as the ball went in to solidify the win at Oakmont.
J.J. Spaun managed the rain and tough course at the challenging Oakmont Country Club to win the 2025 U.S. Open, the first major victory for the California-native.
The scores weren’t pretty in the final round as the majority of the field shot over par as the worst weather of the weekend came up for championship Sunday. Yet the man that was in first place with a bogey-free first round weathered the storm three days later.
Spaun finished the tournament at -1, the only golfer with a final score card under par. Even though he shot +2 on the final round with five bogeys on the first six holes, Spaun closed out strong with four birdies in the back nine. That includes a magnificent 64-foot putt on the 18th and final hole to secure the title.
J.J. Spaun just pocketed $4.3 million as the winner of the 2025 U.S. Open, taking home the biggest earnings from the $21.5 million total purse, which the U.S. Golf Association revealed ahead of the tournament.
