Create Account In the last hour of what passed for daylight on a miserable rainy day, with a war of attrition claiming leader after leader, Spaun impossibly went on the attack. It all ended with 64-foot birdie putt that took Spaun to one-under par, a symbolic win after a week of brutal punishment dished out by the most unforgiving of golf courses. Tied for the lead, Spaun did what every other contender couldn't do, and with danger left, right and long, the 34-year-old drove the green at the par-4 17th hole setting a two-putt birdie, to give him a one-shot lead. Nothing is easy at Oakmont though, and after finding the fairway and the green at the 18th hole, Spaun had two putts to claim his first major, but somehow needed just one, pouring in the putt to win his first major championship, and just the second tournament of his career. Oakmont claimed 54-hole leader Sam Burns with a double bogey at hole 15. For 44-year-old Adam Scott the end came with a double bogey at the par-3 16th. The fiery Englishman Tyrell Hatton met his fate with bogeys at both 17 and 18. In the end, the closest competitor was Scotsman Robert MacIntyre who shot a Sunday 68, to finish at one-over par. His U.S. Open hopes ended in a comfortable chair in the clubhouse where he sat hoping that Oakmont would slay every man left on the golf course. And it nearly did, except for J.J. Spaun.

SIMMONS: Maurice no overnight sensation, but sensation nonetheless
Panthers coach finding his place amongst NHL greats with Florida 1 win away from 2nd straight Cup Get the latest from Steve Simmons straight to your inbox Head coach Paul Maurice of the Florida Panthers yells from the bench against the Edmonton Oilers during the second period in Game 5 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final at Rogers Place on Saturday, June 14, 2025, in Edmonton, Alta. Photo by Jeff Vinnick / Getty Images Bill Zito did a lot of asking around before he hired Paul Maurice to coach the Florida Panthers. In fact, he decided to poll some of his former clients from the days when he was a player agent. He chose three players intentionally to ask a simple question: Who is the best coach you ever played for? One player was an NHL star. One player was an NHL also-ran. One player was mostly a minor-leaguer who had spent some time on NHL rosters. The three players were from different countries. And they all came up with the same answer: Maurice. 'To hear different perspectives on the same thing was fascinating,' said Zito, the highly accomplished general manager of the soon to be back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Panthers. 'It made it a lot easier for me to see the big picture. The players I ask were what I'd call complete hockey geeks, so you don't know what you're going to get from them. 'But I listened to them. I asked a lot of questions. And I think we have the best coach in the business, I really believe that.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Create Account Paul Maurice during his days as a freshman NHL coach with the Hartford Whalers. Photo by Mark van Manen / Postmedia Network Before he coached a game with the Florida Panthers, Maurice was more known for longevity and a sharp sense of humour than he was for success as an NHL coach. He had coached for two years in Hartford, with Carolina twice, Toronto for two years, Winnipeg for nine: An extraordinarily long run without really getting a sniff of the Stanley Cup, although he did make the final once with the Hurricanes. He has lost more NHL games than any other coach in history. He has also coached in more games than anyone not named Scotty Bowman in NHL history. But it wasn't until Zito's call, when Maurice wasn't sure where he was headed after parting ways with the Winnipeg Jets and didn't know if he wanted to coach any more. Then the pieces all came together and the Panthers hired him three summers ago — and the coach once known for hanging around a long time and doing the best news conferences in the game suddenly became a legend. 'I think he was a great coach before he got here,' said Zito. 'He had a lot of success.' But it's now three seasons with the Panthers, three trips to the Cup final, one win away from a second straight championship. How do you do better than that? Only one current NHL coach has won as many as three Stanley Cups and that's Joel Quenneville, who was coach of the Panthers before the NHL and his part in the Chicago Blackhawks sexual assault scandal forced him out of Florida.

Maurice is about to join a rather exclusive club at a time when loyalists were hoping that Canada would return to a Stanley Cup celebration for the first time in 32 years. The Panthers are about as Canadian as you can get at the highest level of the NHL. Maurice is from Sault Ste. Marie. His lead assistants, Jamie Kompon and Sylvain Lefebvre, are from Thunder Bay and Quebec. The Conn Smythe favourites, Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett, are from Halifax and Holland Landing, just outside Toronto. Sam Reinhart is from Vancouver. Aaron Ekblad from Windsor. Evan Rodrigues and Carter Verhaeghe are from the Toronto area. Jonah Gadjovich is from Whitby, A.J. Greer is from Joliette, Que. That's a lot of Canadian content for a team that has Roberto Luongo in management, as well as Bryan McCabe and Rick Dudley, all of them prominent Canadian hockey players or voices. But the voices that matter most here belong to the general manager and the coach he hired. Zito says very little publicly. Maurice isn't paid by the word, although sometimes it seems that way.

Head coach Paul Maurice, right, of the Florida Panthers speaks with the media alongside GM Bill Zito prior to the start of the 2025 NHL Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place on June 3, 2025, in Edmonton, Alta. Photo by Bruce Bennett / Getty Images When a GM and a coach are in sync the way Zito and Maurice are in sync — two men doing their jobs exceptionally well in a highly competitive industry — magic can happen. It happened when Bill Torrey worked with Al Arbour. It happened when Sam Pollock worked with Bowman. It happened when Quenneville coached for Stan Bowman in Chicago. It happened in Los Angeles with Dean Lombardi and Darryl Sutter and later in Tampa with Cooper and Julien BriseBois. Now the combo that matters most is Zito and Maurice. Maurice coaches. Zito supplies talent. This year he added Marchand and Seth Jones at the deadline. No one else came close to his roster alterations. Jones has been invaluable on the Florida defence. Marchand has been a machine for the Panthers up front. Maurice has done what Maurice does — insist on playing the game his way, hard and physical, determined yet intelligent. Maurice can start a game with his team forechecking heavily and then flip to a trap in the second period, then back to forecheck. The thing with the Panthers is you never know what you're getting. And unlike most coaches, Maurice isn't disliked by his players. He's appreciated. He's matured at the age of 58 from a guy who hung around to a budding legend. The players understand his journey and the love he has for the game and for them. And they play for him, maybe more than any team plays for any NHL coach. All it took was 27 years and too many lost seasons on too many teams going nowhere for Maurice to find his Hall of Fame kind of place. He is anything but an overnight sensation — but a sensation nonetheless. About to win another Stanley Cup. ssimmons@ X: @simmonssteve Read More Sports Toronto & GTA Canada Relationships Sunshine Girls

No one was injured and police allege that after shooting at the house, the man ran off and went under the Disraeli Bridge and refused to put down his gun. Officers immediately blocked off vehicle and pedestrian traffic as well as boats on the Red River and police say the hot weather added to the stress of the 10-hour standoff. Shortly before 3:30 p.m. Saturday, police say they were able to safely arrest the man. They allege the 36-year-old was unlawfully at large and violating his parole and he faces numerous firearms and other charges. Sports Toronto & GTA Canada Relationships Relationships

Create Account Police took the alleged rifleman, Arturo Gamboa, 24, into custody Saturday evening on a murder charge, Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said at a Sunday news conference. The bystander, Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, died at the hospital. Detectives don't yet know why Gamboa pulled out a rifle or ran from the peacekeepers, but they accused him of creating the dangerous situation that led to Ah Loo's death. The Associated Press did not immediately find an attorney listed for Gamboa or contact information for his family in public records. Redd said a man dressed in a brightly colored vest fired three shots from a handgun at Gamboa, inflicting a relatively minor injury but fatally shooting Ah Loo. The gunshots sent hundreds of protesters running, some hiding behind barriers and fleeing into parking garages and nearby businesses, police said in a statement. 'That's a gun. Come on, come on, get out,' someone can be heard saying in a video posted to social media that appears to show the events. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'No Kings' protests swept across the country Saturday, and organizers said millions rallied against what they described as President Donald Trump's authoritarian excesses. Confrontations were largely isolated. The Utah chapter of the 50501 Movement, which helped organize the protests, said in a statement on Instagram that they condemned the violence. The Utah chapter did not immediately respond to AP questions about the peacekeeping team. It was unclear who hired them, whether they were volunteers or what their training was prior to the event. Redd said that the peacekeepers' actions are also part of the investigation. The shooter and another person in a vest allegedly saw Gamboa separate from the crowd of marchers in downtown Salt Lake City, move behind a wall and withdraw a rifle around 8 p.m., Redd said. When the two men in vests confronted Gamboa with their handguns drawn, witnesses said Gamboa raised his rifle into a firing position and ran toward the crowd, said Redd. That's when one of the men dressed in the bright vests shot three rounds, hitting Gamboa and Ah Loo, said Redd. Gamboa, who police said didn't have a criminal history, was wounded and treated before being booked into jail. Police said they recovered an AR-15 style rifle, a gas mask and a backpack at the scene.
