J.J. Spaun stunned golf fans at Oakmont Country Club, claiming the U.S. Open Championship in a thrilling finish. The 34-year-old player overcame an early rough patch, bouncing back from five bogeys and two birdies in his first six holes to secure a solo lead.
With Robert MacIntyre holding a narrow advantage, Spaun responded with a birdie on the 17th hole, regaining control of the championship. His decisive putt on the 72nd hole, a 64-foot, 5-inch birdie, secured the win and made him the fifth player in over a century to claim the title without previously making a U.S. Open cut.
Spaun’s historic victory marked a major milestone for his career, solidifying his position as one of golf’s top players. The win also cemented Spaun’s place as the fifth-oldest player in history to capture a major championship.
