He only had 1 tour win his entire career. Then decides to be the only player to go under in horrible conditions on arguably the hardest golf course in the world. Shoutout to J.J. Spaun, this is the type of performance that makes people household names.
Yeah, looking at his career is so interesting- something definitely changed in the last few months for him. He made consecutive cuts at majors for the first time ever at the Masters (50th) and PGA (37th) this year, and then finished 2nd at the Players Championship in March. Such a cool story.
The final championship putt on the 18th hole was truly spectacular. JJ showed the true skills of a champion. I didn’t know much about him before, but I’m glad to see someone rise to stardom who wasn’t always one of the usual winners. From now on, I’ll be cheering him on with all my heart. Congratulations, JJ!
What a crazy day! I loved every minute of it. Spaun showed tremendous resolve to gather himself after shooting 40 on the front nine. He finished with an exclamation mark. It was great.
Watched rounds 3&4 and as a viewer I must say I enjoyed the hell out of it. Really refreshing to see pro’s not go -15 under every weekend. Oakmont is the real deal and made even more difficult by the conditions. What a win by JJ. Players finishing looked like they just got back from the Battle of the Bulge
absolutely fantastic. Congrats JJS. I'd like to see them play more golf courses that are that difficult. Anything over -7 just isn't enough of a challenge for these guys.
I'm more of a casual golf watcher and many times on the smaller tournaments I only watch about the last 6 holes, but on the big tournaments I like watching the entire thing, and this one did not disappoint. If I had only watched the last few holes last Sunday I would have never known what the day was really like. Well done JJ! Last man standing
I CLAPPED for THREE MINUTES STRAIGHT !! BRAVO JJ!! This game so grueling and gratifying!! Hitting the pin and carding a Bogey?? Poker face. Unflappable. Once he hit the 40-footer on #12 dude went in a zone. Back-2-Back!! But HOW DO YOU SEE THAT LINE IN THE RAIN!?!? 😱. Crazy!! Then effin low angle replay walk off was 🔥🔥🔥!!
Hatton's three wood from the fourth fairway (279 yds to hole) was a thing of beauty- he flies it just over the pin about fifteen feet, and it comes back five feet, giving him a ten foot eagle attempt. (he missed)
*GASP* - OMG! The long hitter narrative! The producers mustve hated that a non-190 ballspeed / 330 yard carry player didnt win! They were pushing Burns/Scott/Hovland/Cam/Scheffler.....Spaun ate them all up.
@@jcb4826I wish we got to see him do somethin without getting that shitty ass break with the wet ball where he made double. I think he shoulda got relief
Why don't they just putt on concrete or put windmills and clowns on these greens? Just reacting to what happened to JJ Spaun on hole #2 when his approach hit the flag pin and rolled off the green. That never happens on a real golf course. The US Open is a joke run by a bunch of jerks.
Good job with the cuts for someone that didn’t watch, it painted a picture of the finish nicely. Shoutout to the editors/producers!
+1
Not showing his drive on 18 is criminal
Should’ve shown Hovland giving him the read right before his long range bomb, it’s part of the game that really matters.

He’s a pretty nice guy…good for him⛳️😊
He won me 1250$, I’ll never forget it

A new champion has Spauned! Congrats JJ!
absolutely fantastic. Congrats JJS. I'd like to see them play more golf courses that are that difficult. Anything over -7 just isn't enough of a challenge for these guys.
Same here. It was good to see some bogeys peppered in on everybody's scorecard and a tight field at the end.
One sick last putt.....oh man, it gave me goosebumps. Nice game, JJ! U earned it and deserved it.

What an absolute legendary finish! After the knife’s edge loss to Rory, couldn’t be more stoked for JJ. Incredible final day.
WOW. what a putt!!! Man that is a great way to end the weekend.
One of the most impressive displays of mental resilience I’ve ever seen in my life.
I’m so stoked for Spaun! What a week for that man!! Congrats bro
Wow what a battle back. Congrats JJ so glad you got a dub!! Been playing so good lately
Coming back after his ball ricocheted off the flagstick on the 2nd is amazing. Great battle back from some bad breaks.
That was crazy! Awesome shot, turned disastrous!💥
man that was a great finish after his disappointment at the players.The hours of grinding have paid off.
Well done JJ I hope you win more
What a nicely done highlight video Golf Channel!! and Congrats to JJ for one HELL of a performance!!
Spaun the only one to defeat Oakmont!
For these guys, as elite as they are, to have this much trouble shows how good they really are. Great job JJ Spaun.
never let out of his sights for one moment. this was incredible to watch. had a feeling after round 1 he was going to take it. and that he did.
The water on the course really confounded the players. Also the greens getting slow after the rain. Thanks for putting this together.
What a fudging putt, absolute DAWG. A special tournament deserves a special performance, and that is exactly what we got. Happy Father’s Day JJ!!!
This is what the US open should be.
Incredible comeback!!! Congrats on an awesome back nine
one of the best us opens in a while! loved it
JJS is the prototype of humility.
Never even heard of this guy before, but kudos to him and congrats!
Such a great story. For JJ to break out this year at age 34 come so close in the Players and finally do it in the US Open - truly remarkable.
Oakmont Spauns a New Champion 🏆
This is golf ⛳️
Congratulations to Mr. Spaun! What a gutsy win!
Spaun absolutely went off!! Not your normal golf watcher but this battle at the final 18 at Oakmont was a legendary watch!! I’m hooked!
JJ SPAUN’S US OPEN EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS CHAMPION
JJ SPAUN’S US OPEN EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS CHAMPION
19:06 I don’t need to make it….. hold my beer.
JJ! So happy for him. He got so close at The Players. Happy he was finally able to pull away with the win. And what a win it was!
That was a sweet walk off birdie!! Congrats!🎉🎉
Was behind the 18 green when he made that putt. Loudest roar I have ever heard at any sporting event!
Something about this weather was so fitting too. Way more cinematic!
Great tournament. What a victory.
Gutted for Burns, but JJ was unflinching & just kept battling back. What a crazy course ⛳️
One of the best U.S. Opens!
Cold blooded putting! So glad to see a tight field at the end. Great tourney this year.
wow...... ! Those string of fives and I would have called it day.... Good Job J.J.
That finish was incredible!!!!!!
He battled man through some horrible breaks earlier in the round. Outstanding mental game
What a clutch performance by JJ, especially on 17 and 18..Very impressive..
Dan Hicks needs to go.
As gutsy as a performance as you’ll ever see. JJ is complete nails.
I don't even watch golf but that putt was epic.
A hero to those of us who must struggle against less than ideal conditions.
Now showing JJ’s drive on 18 is just plain wrong.
…What a great tournament. Such a fun Sunday to watch.
can't wait to see JJ on Full Swing 4
What a finish!!
Fairy tail ending! ❤.
He will remember this one forever. What a great ending.
Hatton's three wood from the fourth fairway (279 yds to hole) was a thing of beauty- he flies it just over the pin about fifteen feet, and it comes back five feet, giving him a ten foot eagle attempt. (he missed)
Congratulations to the Spaun family. 🎉
WHAT A FINISH!
Announcer said best shot of jjs life on 17 then makes the putt of a lifetime of the 72nd what a dog
well done!
Well deserved good swingn on a tough tough course changed 5xs in 4days well played spaun
Wow, Jordan Peele won the open!
I love his reaction to that horrible break when he hit the flag.......no reaction. I learned a lot from that....
That would've been tough to watch as it happened. The whole shot and roll back took over 30 seconds lol.
Great take.
Speechless...
After the horrible break on number two, im so glad JJ won....
incredible putt. 64 feet. unreal.
*GASP* - OMG! The long hitter narrative! The producers mustve hated that a non-190 ballspeed / 330 yard carry player didnt win!
They were pushing Burns/Scott/Hovland/Cam/Scheffler.....Spaun ate them all up.
Good for spaun! Burns that was a rough ending
Yeah I was pulling for Burns. He wasn't ready for that rain.
@@jcb4826I wish we got to see him do somethin without getting that shitty ass break with the wet ball where he made double. I think he shoulda got relief
Hovland is on his way to winning a major
If I had 1% of that mental strength, man... what a win
Good for him. Came back strong
I don't normally watch golf, but when I do, I prefer Boddingtons.
🎉🎉🎉
It came down to the driver. When he needed it, JJ smoked that driver perfectly. He gets in the rough on 17 or 18, and MacIntyre wins.
J.J. respaun 🔥
SPAUN👑
Fairways and greens, when it counted. The best golfer on the day won convincingly.
What a freaking put………
JJ deserve the win after getting sooooo screwed on No 2
Let’s go JJ!

This was not a golf course, but a 18 hole pinball machine. I would protest the tax charges for building/maintaining it.
Good for him. 😂❤
Wow!
Well deserved.
Taking advantage of that tiny window opening up for him. He found something that's working. That window will close eventually.
Agreed
Horrible rough
Want some fairway with a ton of bunkers
Why do they call it Oakmont? There's no trees, they should call it roughmont
let's hope thump doesn't export him
Yeah an American born person you’re a bot
Burns got screwed
Too painful to watch-USGA needs new leadership!
Wow
Someone please tell me why Wyndham Clark can damage private property and just walks away!
Jj is good.
Best parents ambience ever to.whatever
Who Ray for JJ………
