J.J. Spaun turned a sloppy mess of a U.S. Open at wet and nasty Oakmont into a thing of beauty at the end Sunday with two stunning shots that carried him to his first major championship.

Ultimately, it was J.J. Spaun who captured the biggest crown of his life, making a dramatic birdie on the par-4 17th hole, then hoping to hold on for dear life down the treacherous 18th home hole only to drain a historic 64-foot putt for birdie when all he needed to do was two-putt for par.

"Our purse is $21.5 million. Winner's check is $4.3 million. We didn't raise our purse this year," USGA CEO Mike Whan said. "When I started at the USGA just four years ago, our purse was $12.5 million, so I feel comfortable that we've been a leader in moving fast and bigger. [...] We want the money to be commensurate with the achievement."

J.J. Spaun was 5-over for his final round on Sunday, but after a weather delay, Spaun went 3-under in his last seven holes, including a 64-foot birdie, to win the 2025 US Open.

Heavy rain forced a suspension of play during the final round of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont with Sam Burns leading by one stroke over Adam Scott.

The U.S. Open being completed on Sunday is now dependent on the weather and daylight cooperating at Oakmont. NBC's Mike Tirico reported that the U.S. Open could withstand a two-hour weather delay and still finish the final round on Sunday. The delay ended up lasting less than two hours indicating the final round could be completed as scheduled.

J.J. Spaun added supreme clarity to one of the most uncertain U.S. Opens by making a 64-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to win the 125th edition. It was his first PGA Tour title, a major championship.

Sam Burns entered the final round of the 2025 U.S. Open in the lead, and it appeared he might be the only player to survive Oakmont. That was not the case.

Wyndham Clark reportedly damaged lockers at Oakmont Country Club after missing the U.S. Open cut, following a similar frustration incident at the PGA Championship.
