Spaun Shows Great Resiliency Throughout Final Round

Spaun, who up until Sunday had a grand total of one (1) PGA Tour victory to his credit, won the U.S. Open on talent, yes. But he won it on tenacity, too, and bend-but-don’t-break mental toughness. He won it because he hung around long enough to make exactly the right move at exactly the right moment.
J.J. Spaun overcame five early bogeys and sank a 64-foot birdie putt to win the U.S. Open at a rain-soaked Oakmont on Sunday.
As he stood on the ninth tee box in the pouring rain, it looked for all the world like J.J. Spaun had just played his way out of contention for the 125th US Open championship.
