The 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont was none of that. J.J. Spaun won the tournament with a score of -1, but the better way to put it might be he survived the tournament. This was a down-in-the-mud fistfight, a battle against the elements, the course, the field and the self.

J.J. Spaun hit razor-thin fairways, weathered rain showers and overcame Oakmont Country Club's gauntlet of a golf course to win the first major title of his career Sunday at the 2025 U.S. Open.

San Diego State University alum J.J. Spaun won the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania on Sunday. Why it matters: He clinched his first major championship title in the rain with a 64-foot birdie on the 18th hole, sinking the longest putt made by anyone in the tournament.
