    Aaron Rai Is 33rd As Spaun Finishes With 2 Birdies To Win US Open

    By IANS News June 16, 2025 • 20:02 PM View: 299
    Unheralded JJ Spaun: Unheralded JJ Spaun produced two amazing birdies on the last two holes to win the 125th US Open and change his life and career.

    Winner of one PGA Tour title before this, Spaun who began the day trailing Sam Burns by one, had five bogeys in the first six holes, but with scoring being so difficult, he was still in contention when he came to the 17th and was chasing Scotsman Robert MacIntyre, who had set the clubhouse target of 1-over after finishing with a brilliant round of 2-under 68.

    Spaun was tied with MacIntyre when he came to the 17th. He produced a great 314-yard drive on the 17th and birdied to take the lead. On the 18th, he needed two putts from 65 feet for the win, but he holed for a grandstand finish and the longest putt of the tournament to card 2-over 72 and grab a 2-shot win at the Oakmont Country Club, which was at its most difficult in wet conditions. That made him the only player to finish under par at 1-under 279. It gave him a two-shot victory over MacIntyre.
