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.
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
