US Open champion JJ Spaun turned a freefall into a title at rain-soaked Oakmont
OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Nobody backs their way into a U.S. Open title. J.J. Spaun wasn't about to be the first to say he did. On a day built for umbrellas, panchos and industrial-sized squeegees, Spaun reversed his own freefall, took advantage of several others' and hit two shots that turned him into a major champion while finally, mercifully, creating a moment to remember at the rain-soaked brute called Oakmont. 'I just tried to dig deep,' said the 34-year-old Californian who can now call himself a major champion. 'I've been doing it my whole life.' The shots that will go down in history are the drive he hit on the reachable par-4 17th and the 65-foot putt he sank with the sun going down and the rain falling on 18. The first set up a birdie that put him in the lead by himself for good. The second was for emphasis — he only needed a two-putt, after all — that ensured this U.S. Open would finish with one — and only one — player under par. The 65 footer, the longest of any putt made all tournament, closed out a back nine 32 and left Spaun at 1-under 279 for the tournament. His 72 was the highest closing-round score for a U.S. Open winner in 15 years. But that wasn't Sunday's takeaway. Rather, it was the 401.5 feet worth of putts the champion made over four days. And the fact that Spaun joined none other than Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson and Jon Rahm as the fifth U.S. Open winner to finish birdie-birdie. 'I just felt like you keep putting yourself in these positions, like eventually you're going to tick one off,' said Spaun, whose loss in a playoff to Rory McIlroy three months ago at The Players Championship was his third top-three finish of 2025. But at the U.S. Open? In that kind of weather? None of it seemed possible when the rain started coming down during the tail end of a front-nine 40 that took Spaun from one shot back at the start of the day to four behind and fading fast. Coaches told him, 'Dude, just chill,' and Spaun did A 1-hour, 37-minute rain delay ensued. It was a break that changed everything. 'They were just like, 'Dude, just chill,'' Spaun said of the pep talk he got from his coaches. They suggested that, if earlier in the week, he'd been told he could be four shots back with nine holes to play, he would have jumped at the chance. 'They just said, 'Just let it come to you, be calm. Stop trying so hard,'' Spaun said. Staying calm resulted in making a downhill 40 footer on the par-5 12th for birdie, then a 22-foot birdie on 14 to take the lead by himself for the first time, at even par. Everywhere else, meltdowns in the rain. Third-round leader Sam Burns thinned a shot out of a divot and over the 11th green en route to the first of two back-nine double bogeys. He shot 40 on the back and finished tied for seventh. Adam Scott, the only major champion in the top 10 after Saturday's play, shot 41 in the rain on the back nine and dropped to 12th. 'I didn't adapt to those conditions well enough,' Scott said. Tyrell Hatton, who shot 72, briefly threatened and was part of a brief five-way deadlock for the lead before making bogey on the last two holes to finish tied for fourth. Robert MacIntyre turned out to be Spaun's most persistent challenger. The left-hander from Scotland faded his drive just short of the green on the way to birdie on 17 to get to 1 over and set the target for Spaun, who was playing three groups behind. MacIntyre was waiting in the locker room when Spaun hit his approach on 18 to 65 feet. Everyone knew it was no sure two-putt. Hardly anyone expected Spaun to get down in one. 'To watch him hole the putt on 12 down the hill there was unreal,' said Viktor Hovland, who played in the twosome with Spaun. 'And then he makes another one on 14 that was straight down the hill. And then the one on 18, it's just absolutely filthy there.' A sick kid and 'chaos' ends with a trophy When they close the book on Spaun's victory at this rainy U.S. Open, maybe the most telling story will be about the way his Father's Day began. As much as the front-nine 40, it had to do with the 3 a.m. trip to the drug store for his daughter, Violet, who Spaun said was 'vomiting all over.' 'It was kind of a rough start to the morning,' he said. 'I'm not blaming that on my start, but it kind of fit the mold of what was going on, the chaos.' Then, through all the rain, and through all those bad lies and bad breaks, Spaun brought some order to it all with a drive and a putt that landed him with the silver trophy and gold medal that go to U.S. Open winners. 'We all sacrifice so much to be here, and to see it come to fruition, that's why we do it,' said Spaun's coach, Adam Schriber. 'It's for these moments.' ___ AP golf:

Why is Dundee's Robertson training with Ramos at Monterrey?
You would be forgiven for doing a double take if you came across recent footage of Dundee's Finlay Robertson training with Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos. As part of the Dens Park side's strategic partnership with Monterrey, 22-year-old Robertson has joined up with the Mexican club to train this summer. Advertisement That has seen Robertson rub shoulders with multiple Champions League winner Ramos, who joined Rayados in February, as well as former Sevilla forward Lucas Ocampos and ex-Spain midfielder Sergio Canales. Monterrey are involved in this summer's Club World Cup and open their group fixtures against Inter Milan on Wednesday. Some social media speculation suggested Robertson could be registered to play in the tournament, but he does not appear to be in the squad. So how did all of this come about? While Monterrey representatives were checking up on Mexican youngsters Victor Lopez and Cesar Garza, who joined Dundee in January, they were impressed by academy graduate Robertson. Advertisement "One of the directors of Monterrey came over to watch to see how Chespi and Cesar were doing," midfielder Robertson said. "They watched training throughout the week and signalled me out as one they would like to see more of." And how is the 22-year-old finding it? "It's a bit surreal at times being on the same training pitch with such big names," he added. "But showing you can hold your own with them, it fills me with confidence."

Send us your memories of Tiger Woods' 'Shot in the Dark' at Firestone Country Club
With professional golf returning to Firestone Country Club for this week's Kaulig Companies Championship, it will mark the 25th anniversary of Tiger Woods' legendary 'Shot in the Dark' on the famed South Course. Playing in near darkness in the final round of the 2000 World Golf Championships-NEC Invitational after a long rain delay, Woods faced an 8-iron approach 168 yards from the pin. His strike landed two feet from the hole, setting up a birdie and an 11-shot victory. Advertisement Fans held up burning lighters like they were attending a rock concert as Woods, on his way to an eight-win season and in the midst of the 'Tiger Slam' of four consecutive majors, received a loud ovation. The spot in the fairway from where he hit is now marked with a plaque. Firestone Country Club's toughest hole: One hacker's adventure playing a 667-yard par-5 Were you in the gallery for that iconic moment? The Beacon Journal is soliciting memories of that shot (and that day) for a story.
