chaos Oakmont It was the desire for a great contingent of golf fans going within the week – and on Sunday, they received their desire.
What began as a last round of the US, the open-where they were celebrated Pars and Bogeys withdrew-turned into a slugfest in elements on Sunday afternoon. And after a period of six hours of heavy weights, JJ Spaun was the name only at the head of the manager.
“I never thought I would be here holding this trophy,” Spaun said. “I’ve always had aspirations and dreams, but as I said a few months ago, I never knew what my ceiling was.”
If you look at the final 125 rankings of the US Open, you may be cheated to think that almost every contender lost their game before the last round. Of those who withdrew to the last three couples, no one posted a better result than two. For most of the day, the leaders were otherwise.
What they numbers not Saying is the struggle that each contender passed to post that result. Not only did the players had to fight Henry C. Fowns’s diabolical model throughout the last round, they also had to fight with mother nature. And on Sunday, Mother Nature was a clumsy beast.
As the leaders approached the turn, a massive storm rolled through the western Pennsylvania, soaking the course and forcing a stop of the game. After the game resumed about 90 minutes later, Oakmont showed her teeth.

While contenders like Adam Scott, Sam Burns, Victor Hovland, Tyrrell Hatton and Carlos Ortiz moved after resumption, the spaun grew. Prior to the detention, the 34-year-old was five in the round, including a 40 backward in his nine-nine-but after stopping, he made four birds and just a noise to post one-side for the championship.
It would be enough to raise his name in history.

As Spaun addressed the unfavorable weather conditions with a quiet behavior that suits a large sample, those around him on the manager’s table collapsed. Burns, the 54 -hole leader, made two double Bogey to sink his chances, while his game partner Scott made a mess of his own. Ortiz and Hatton could not keep their momentum, while Hovland made only enough mistakes to sink his chances.
By the end of the day, it was just a man standing between the spas and the trophy – Robert Macintyre. With a 69-68 weekend, the Scots posted one to post the club’s lead as the leaders played their last holes.
Spaun would make sure you wouldn’t need a play off. After making the penultimate bird to get the full lead, Spaun needed a predecessor to catch the title. He made a better one, rolling in a 65 pedestrian for Birdie to complete a two -stroke win.
