And then the final putt — no one made a longer one all week. He was helped by Viktor Hovland being on the same line and going first. Spaun rapped it through the soaked turf, walked to the left to watch it break right toward the hole and watched it dropped as thousands of rain-soaked spectators erupted.

J.J. Spaun put an all-time exclamation point on his 2025 U.S. Open championship victory, concluding a final-round 72 with a 64-foot, 5-inch bomb of a birdie putt on the 72nd hole to create one of the most memorable moments in tournament history on Father's Day.

The TV ratings for Sunday's final round of the 2025 U.S. Open took a big hit due to a 96-minute weather delay at Oakmont.
