J.J. Spaun managed the rain and tough course at the challenging Oakmont Country Club to win the 2025 U.S. Open, the first major victory for the California-native.
The scores weren’t pretty in the final round as the majority of the field shot over par as the worst weather of the weekend came up for championship Sunday. Yet the man that was in first place with a bogey-free first round weathered the storm three days later.
Spaun finished the tournament at -1, the only golfer with a final score card under par. Even though he shot +2 on the final round with five bogeys on the first six holes, Spaun closed out strong with four birdies in the back nine. That includes a magnificent 64-foot putt on the 18th and final hole to secure the title.

2025 US Open purse, payouts: How much did Spaun win?
J.J. Spaun just pocketed $4.3 million as the winner of the 2025 U.S. Open, taking home the biggest earnings from the $21.5 million total purse, which the U.S. Golf Association revealed ahead of the tournament.
Both the prize money and the purse amounts are the highest of the four major golf tournaments and are the same as last year’s, when Bryson DeChambeau took home the title with a one-shot victory over Rory McIlroy at Pinehurst Resort, Course No. 2 in North Carolina.

JJ Spaun hits incredible putt to win US Open
What a way to win your first major.
On the 18th hole, J.J. Spaun could have taken two putts to secure victory with his ball was 64-feet away from the cup. But he only needed one, sinking the shot in from long distance to secure the title.
Spaun and the crowd on hand were in a frenzy as the ball went in to solidify the win at Oakmont.
JJ Spaun back in front ahead of 18th
A birdie on the par-4 17th puts J.J. Spaun in first place as he’s set to tee off on the final hole of the day.
Robert MacIntyre finishes round in tie for first
Robert MacIntyre has set himself up for a possible win, finishing the final round at 1-over-par and a tie on top of the leaderboard. Two birdies and a bogey-free back nine have put him in solid position as the rest of the field continues play.
JJ Spaun jumps to US Open lead
There’s a new golfer on top of the leaderboard, the same man that led after the first round.
J.J. Spaun is now in front with an even par score, as birdies on the 12th and 14th holes have propelled him into first. Even though he’s 3-over-par on the day, Spaun has been better than most of the field as the struggles at Oakmont are apparent. Sam Burns was 4-under-par for the tournament entering the day, but he’s +5 on the day and now in the tie for second at +1.
Sam Burns holds lead despite double bogey
Oakmont is proving how tough it is as the the final group of golfers are on the back nine, and no one is under par. Sam Burns has held onto his lead, but a double bogey on the par-4 11th hole has pushed him back to even, one shot ahead of second place Adam Scott and Carlos Ortiz.
Play resumes at US Open
After more than 90 minutes of stoppage due to weather, golfers are back on the course to continue the final round.
Play resumed at 5:38 p.m. ET, and the hope is there will be enough daylight to finish the last round on schedule, and not have to play on Monday, June 16.
US Open weather stoppage update
Play is expected to resume at 5:40 p.m. ET, the United States Golf Association announced. The delay is expected to last just over 90 minutes.
US Open play suspended by rain at Oakmont
The threat of showers and thunderstorms was always looming in the forecast for Sunday’s final round at Oakmont.
The timeline for stoppage of play has not been determined.
Burns, Scott tied for lead after 5 holes
Two bogeys in his first five holes dropped third-round leader Sam Burns into a tie for the lead with Australian Adam Scott.
Burns drove into a left-side bunker on the 422-yard, par-4 fifth hole and had to pitch out into the fairway. From there, he hit an approach from 107 yards onto the green and two-putted for bogey.
Scott, playing in his 96th consecutive major tournament, had a pair of bogeys in his first three holes. But he righted the ship with a birdie at the par-5 fourth to get back to 2-under.
Jon Rahm finishes with a flourish
Two-time major champion Jon Rahm gave the rest of the field a number to shoot for, carding a 3-under-par 67 to finish the tournament at +4. The 2012 U.S. Open winner at Torrey Pines birdied his final three holes to get into the clubhouse in a tie for ninth place — seven shots behind leader Sam Burns.
Does Scottie Scheffler have a chance to win?
The world’s No. 1 player begins Sunday’s final round at Oakmont looking to make history. At 4 over par, Scottie Scheffler sits eight shots behind 54-hole leader Sam Burns.
No one in history has come from that far back on the final day to win the U.S. Open. But if anyone has a chance to break a legend’s record, Scheffler would be a great choice.
Arnold Palmer came back from seven shots behind leader Mike Souchak in the final round to win at Cherry Hills in 1960. He shot a final-round 65 to overcome a star-studded field that also included 20-year-old amateur Jack Nicklaus, 47-year-old Ben Hogan and 48-year-old Sam Snead.
The biggest comeback at Oakmont in the nine previous U.S. Opens there – and the second largest comeback ever in this championship – came in 1973 when Johnny Miller rallied from six back to win.
Scheffler’s biggest comeback in his pro career was from five strokes behind at the 2024 Players Championship. He also won the Olympic gold medal in Paris that year, rallying from four shots back with a final-round 62.
However, the U.S. Open is a different animal. Scheffler hasn’t broken par in any of his last eight rounds in the tournament.
2025 US Open prize money
The winner of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club will pocket $4.3 million as the U.S. Golf Association announced this week that the total purse will be $21.5 million.
Both the prize money and the purse amounts are the highest of the four major golf tournaments.
- 1st: $4,300,000
- 2nd: $2,322,000
- 3rd: $1,459,284
- 4th: $1,023,014

Corey Conners withdraws before starting Round 4
Dealing with a wrist injury, Canadian Corey Conners has withdrawn from Sunday’s final round at Oakmont. Scheduled to tee off at 10:20 and paired with Ryan Fox, Conners informed tournament officials he would not be able to play.
TSN golf analyst Bob Weeks reports Conners initially suffered the injury on Thursday when he struck a hidden cable while playing a bunker shot. He reinjured it Saturday swinging at a plugged ball in a bunker on hole No. 11. Conners was at +3 and inside the top 15 after the front nine on Saturday, but played the back nine in five over par to end the day +8 and tied for 40th place.
