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 also a surprise finish to a surreal day, in which Spaun began the final round with five bogeys over his first six holes at Oakmont Country Club.

Spaun defeated Robert MacIntyre (68) by one shot and Viktor Hovland (73) by three. Spaun overcame bogeys on five of his first six holes, then broke away from a five-way tie for the lead with four birdies on his last seven holes to win.
