We spent three hours with J.J. Spaun after his U.S. Open victory to find out what goes on behind the scenes after winning a major title.

On a day built for umbrellas, J.J. Spaun reversed his own free fall, took advantage of everyone else’s and hit two shots that turned him into a major champion.

JJ Spaun won the US Open with a two-shot victory over Scotlands Bob MacIntyre; Englands Tyrell Hatton tied-fourth after bogey-bogey finish; pre-tournament favourite Scottie Scheffler five strokes back

Spaun rallied to win the 2025 U.S. Open with a dramatic final-round rally, and Sports Illustrated was inside the ropes for all of it. Here are SI's best photos from Spaun's victory.

J.J. Spaun was dialed in on his approach shot on the second hole Sunday at Oakmont. Too dialed in. His wedge from 94 yards took one hop, hit the flagstick and ricocheted back, rolling off the green and 50 yards away.

Spaun, who up until Sunday had a grand total of one (1) PGA Tour victory to his credit, won the U.S. Open on talent, yes. But he won it on tenacity, too, and bend-but-don’t-break mental toughness. He won it because he hung around long enough to make exactly the right move at exactly the right moment.
