The 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont was none of that. J.J. Spaun won the tournament with a score of -1, but the better way to put it might be he survived the tournament. This was a down-in-the-mud fistfight, a battle against the elements, the course, the field and the self.

J.J. Spaun won the U.S. Open in dramatic fashion Sunday for his second PGA Tour title. He also collected $4.3 million. Runner-up Robert MacIntyre earned $2,322,000 while Viktor Hovland, who was solo third, picked up $1,459,284. Here’s how the full $21.5 million purse was paid out at Oakmont Country Club.

Like any savvy patient who gets a bad diagnosis, Sam Burns wanted a second opinion. When his drive on Oakmont’s par-4 15th hole stayed on the fairway next to the first cut, he seemed to catch a good break. But when Burns arrived at the ball, it looked and felt to him that it was sitting in standing water from the day’s earlier heavy rain storm.

J.J. Spaun was all but out of contention after shooting a 40 on the front nine in the final round at Oakmont. But then a 96-minute rain delay intervened—and he conjured up a finish for the ages.

Ultimately, it was J.J. Spaun who captured the biggest crown of his life, making a dramatic birdie on the par-4 17th hole, then hoping to hold on for dear life down the treacherous 18th home hole only to drain a historic 64-foot putt for birdie when all he needed to do was two-putt for par.
