J.J. Spaun earned the right to dance in the rain after making the longest putt of the 2025 U.S. Open, clinching his first win in a golf major on Sunday.
Caddie Mark Carens walked over and joined Spaun as the duo watched the ball travel 64 feet and to secure victory. The men embraced as the ball fell into the 18th hole.
"When I hit it, I thought it was a little short," Spaun told NBC Sports' Mike Tirico during the trophy ceremony. "... but it was looking really good ... fortunately it was my time."
An emotional Spaun reunited with his wife, Melody, and their daughters, Emerson Lili and Violet Windsor, to celebrate the win on Father's Day.
"It was a dream week and scenario to have my kids here," Spaun said about having his family in attendance. "It's awesome and a cherry on top for an awesome week."
The Los Angeles native became the 92nd different player to win the tournament.
