Unmatched Grit, Major Glory: J.J. Spaun Conquers Oakmont to Win First Major Championship

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., June 15, 2025 – With unwavering resilience and poise, Srixon staffer J.J. Spaun delivered a major championship breakthrough at the 2025 U.S. Open, conquering the brutal test of Oakmont Country Club to claim his first major championship title.

The victory comes just months after Spaun’s close-call at The PLAYERS Championship – a near miss that tested his resolve but was important for his confidence moving forward. Despite mounting championship pressure and tough elements all day, Spaun remained calm after a shaky start that included a 5-over 40 to open his front nine. After an extended weather delay, Spaun started four back after the turn and hit the reset button. He would go on to fire an incredible 3-under 32, punctuated by a 64-foot birdie putt on the 18th green to finish the tournament at 1-under-par and two clear of the field.

I never thought I would be here holding this trophy. I’ve always had aspirations and dreams, but like I said a few months ago, I never knew what my ceiling was. I never knew how good I could be, but I’m just proud I’ve been resilient in my career and pushed through a lot of things. Just trying to be the best golfer I can be, and I’m happy to be able to display that today at Oakmont.

Spaun surged to an early lead with a historic front-nine 31 in Thursday’s opening round—the lowest ever recorded at Oakmont in U.S. Open history. That momentum carried through the week as he battled both the field and the course’s demands. Leaning heavily on his Srixon Irons and Cleveland Wedges, Spaun highlighted his precision and creativity around the greens, finishing T9 in greens in regulation and inside the top 20 in strokes gained: around the greens.

This is Spaun’s second career victory and wins the U.S. Open in only his second appearance. He now moves into sixth position in the FedExCup rankings.

With an electric finish on one of the most challenging courses in the world, Spaun was the only player to finish under par. His performance not only etched his name into major championship history but highlights the elite tools he used to get there.
