US Open 2025: JJ Spaun wins maiden major title with 65-foot birdie putt; beats Robert Maclntyre by two shots
JJ Spaun claimed his first major title after a rain-soaked, drama-filled final round of the US Open 2025 at Oakmont Country Club. He battled a flooded course, a 90-minute weather delay, and fierce competition from Scotland's Robert MacIntyre to clinch the victory with a stunning 65-foot birdie putt on the 18th green. Spaun's journey to the title Spaun's journey to the title was anything but smooth. He started the day one shot behind the overnight leader Sam Burns. The 34-year-old Californian endured a nightmare start, bogeying five of his first six holes, including an unlucky break at the second where his approach hit the flagpole and rolled 50 yards away. 'I don't think I did keep my composure with all the bad breaks I was getting. The weather delay changed the whole vibe for the day,' JJ Spaun expressed during the trophy presentation ceremony. A 90-minute rain delay shifted the momentum. Spaun bounced back, scoring a strong 32 on the back nine, and finished the final round with a two-over-par 72, making him the only player to complete the tournament under par. MacIntyre's brilliant charge Scotland's Robert MacIntyre mounted a challenge by posting the only sub-par final round among the overnight top 10 with a two-under 68. Beginning the day seven shots behind the leader, Robert MacIntyre made a 60-foot eagle on the fourth hole and added birdies on the ninth, 14th, and 17th, finishing at one over par to set the clubhouse lead. Watching Spaun's winning putt on television, MacIntyre applauded him. 'Having a chance to win a major is what I dreamed of as a kid,' MacIntyre said. His runner-up finish strengthens his Ryder Cup prospects and sets him up for a strong defense of his 2024 Scottish Open title. Other contenders The brutal Oakmont layout and relentless weather tested the field. Overnight leader Sam Burns struggled to an eight-over 78, finishing at four over alongside world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm. England's Tyrrell Hatton was in contention until a costly bogey-bogey finish, including a break at the 17th where he needed three shots to escape thick rough. Norway's Viktor Hovland, despite missing three five-foot putts, secured third at two over with a final-round 73. Spaun's magical finish Spaun's defining moment came at the 18th where he found the green in two and faced a 65-foot putt to avoid a two-putt par. The putt dropped, sparking celebrations among the drenched Oakmont crowd.

Scottie Scheffler Breaks Silence After Bad Day at the US Open 2025
Scottie Scheffler Breaks Silence After Bad Day at the US Open 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler failed to work his magic during the first round of the U.S. Open. He managed three birdies on the toughest course but bogeyed too many times to end up with a score of 3-over par after 18. Advertisement Scheffler was visibly disappointed with his performance, which even involved him slamming his club on the ground after a shot at the 14th hole. He believes that Oakmont is a place where having tons of strategy doesn't work. One just has to be in the present and keep hitting those shots. "It's one of those places. There's not a ton of strategy, I would say," Scheffler told reporters on Thursday. "It's just you step up there on a tee box and (are) like what club can I get into this fairway and then you try and hit that club in the fairway and if you don't, it's like all right how am I gonna get out of this rough and get the ball back into the fairway so I can have a shot at the green." Scottie Scheffler plays his shot from the tenth tee during the first round.© Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images "It's not like an overly strategic golf course where you know there's a lot of club options off the tee and stuff like that," Scheffer added. "It's just the golf course where you step on the tee box, you look at that fairway and you're like, all right, keep balling that thing." Advertisement The World No. 1 was not alone in having such a bad start. Even Bryson DeChambeau, the defending US Open champion, along with Rory McIlroy, had a disappointing start to the major. DeChambeau birdied two holes but bogeyed five, taking his score to 3-over par just like Scheffler after round one. The LIV Golf star also finished T49 after the first round. McIlroy started strong with two birdies on the back nine but bogeyed the fourth hole and double bogeyed one to finish with a score of 4-over par at T62.

Angry Rory McIlroy narrowly survives cut at US Open
The 42 AN ANGRY RORY McIlroy needed a birdie on the last hole of his second round to make the cut at the US Open. McIlroy said before the tournament that he needed to shake off the hangover of his epic Masters win at Augusta National in April, but he could not have chosen a harder place to do that. The brutal Oakmont course in Pittsburgh has been chewing up and spitting out the best players in the world, and McIlroy is one of them. Frustration boils over for Rory McIlroy after his approach shot on the 12th 😡 — Sky Sports Golf (@SkySportsGolf) June 13, 2025 After a four-over-par 74 on Thursday, McIlroy had hopes of fighting back into contention in the second round, but he again struggled to tame the course, posting two double bogeys in the opening three holes. Such was his frustration, he launched his club in anger at the 12th hole after sending another shot into the unforgiving rough before smashing a tee marker on the 17th when finding the bunker. He produced some magic on the 18th with a stunning approach shot to five feet and converted for a birdie to reach six-over-par, which keeps him around for the weekend. Whether he will be pleased about that or not is another story entirely, and he will not be challenging for the title come Sunday night. His late birdie did not quell the frustration enough for him to speak to the media as he skipped post-round duties for the sixth successive round at a major. Rory McIlroy makes the cut at Oakmont ✅ — Sky Sports Golf (@SkySportsGolf) June 13, 2025 There was no such luck for Shane Lowry as he finished on 17-over-par following a second-round 78. A bad day for the Offaly golfer was compounded on the 14th hole. Lowry picked up his ball on the green but forgot to mark it. Soon realising his error, Lowry put the ball back down before sharing a laugh with groupmates McIlroy and Justin Rose. Oakmont is taking its toll. Shane Lowry forgot to mark his ball on the 14th green before picking it up. — Fried Egg Golf (@fried_egg_golf) June 13, 2025 Advertisement The mistake did not have a significant impact on Lowry's fate. By then, he was already 14 over par after a nine-over 79 on Thursday. 'By then, maybe my mind was somewhere else,' he told Sky Sports. 'I still tried. I fought over every shot. That's all you can do, I suppose, on a week like this.' The 38-year-old struggled to hide his frustration on a challenging day. After missing a putt at one point, he exclaimed: 'F*ck this place, F*ck this place.' Golf is hard. Shane Lowry - 'F*ck this place, F*ck this place' - Unique opinion on Oakmont & the 2025 US Open. #USOpen2025 — Matt "Mattie 5" Bellner (@MattBellner) June 13, 2025 Meanwhile, Sam Burns matched the third-best US Open round ever fired at Oakmont, shooting a five-under par 65 to seize a one-stroke lead after Friday's second round as big names struggled. The 28-year-old American made six birdies against a lone bogey to stand on three-under 137 after 36 holes on the punishing layout. The only two US Open rounds at Oakmont lower than Burns's 65 were Johnny Miller's final-round 63 to win in 1973 and a 64 by Loren Roberts in the 1994 third round. American J.J. Spaun made bogeys on three of the last four holes to shoot 72 and stand second on 138 with Norway's Viktor Hovland third on 139 after a 68 — the top trio being the only players under par after 36 holes. Bryson DeChambeau fired a 77 to stand on 150 and miss the cut, the first defending champion to miss the US Open cut since Gary Woodland in 2020. Also missing the cut was six-time US Open runner-up Phil Mickelson, who needed a win to complete a career Grand Slam. Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and Spain's Jon Rahm were seven adrift on 144. Scheffler fired a 71 with five bogeys and four birdies. Australian Adam Scott and American Ben Griffin shared fourth on 140. France's Victor Perez aced the par-three sixth hole from 192 yards, hitting the 54th hole-in-one in US Open history but only the second ace at a US Open at Oakmont. Perez shot 70 to stand sixth on 141.
