JJ Spaun Ends Fathers Day In Unforgettable Fashion

The 2025 U.S. The Open finally came to an end Sunday evening, with many of the top in the sport having to watch the final round from elsewhere rather than Oakmont. From the start, the course conditions played a huge part in the ongoing frustrations seen throughout. There were still those who were able to overcome some of the hurdles in their way, like Sam Burns who put up an impressive 65 during his round two showing. Still no performances topped the finish from veteran JJ Spaun, who also overcame outside obstacles in his route to ultimately winning the tournament. Spaun started his Father’s Day in chaos, yet ended the U.S. Open as the winner in front of family and friends. 

Fathers Day Special 

Spaun went into the fourth round of play, with what could be described as a nightmare to say the least. Having to struggle to find sleep due to his daughter catching a stomach bug, his first stop Sunday morning landed at CVS. Stepping up to his duties as a father, Spaun would later be shown that same gratitude with a final 64-foot birdie putt to end the day. 

“Today I was running to CVS downtown because my daughter had a stomach bug,” Spaun said. “I’m not blaming that on my start, but it kind of just fit the mold of chaos today.” 

Chaos was the correct word by all means, with Spaun putting up five bogeys in his front nine play. Although able to bounce back on the back eight holes, with four birdies and just one bogey. Turning pro in 2012, Spaun only had one career Tour win under his belt before grabbing his first ever major in his career thus far. Needing to find that extra kick inside to finish things off Sunday, the veteran did just that with the longest putt made in all four rounds of the tournament.
