JJ Spaun’s last round in Oakmont departed for a bad start as he might have imagined. Bogey-Bogey-Bogey-Para-Bogey-Bogey. This is the type of start that would mark a one -digit handicap. For a protest in a big championship, a series of 5 like it to start the day is impenetrable.
“I felt like I had a chance, a really good chance to win the US Open at the beginning of the day,” Spaun said. “Simply discovered very quickly.”
Not only was Spaun hitting weak shots, but he was also taking unfortunate vacation. Its promotion in no. 1 drew a bad lie. His approach to no. 2 hit the flag so hard as caromed about 50 yards again on the road. (Dan Hicks i nbc called it one of The “worst holidays” of the week.) Its encouragement in no. 3 was hit a spray This kept it from finding the short grass. Only six holes in the last round, it seemed as though the open chances of the spaun were emanated.

“I was lunching with Max Homa at home,” Spaun said. “He was telling a tiger story where he was like,” As long as you like to be there yet, you don’t have to do anything crazy, especially in an open US. “He’s, ‘Tiger said it would happen, and the wind would pass, but you have to stay there.
If there is anyone who knows what it takes to earn an open US is Woods. Of his 15 big titles, three came to the US Open, with the last one being a 2008 -back win at Torrey Pines.
“I was thinking about it there in the afternoon, where I was four back, maybe I would go back to the delay, and then I did some good parmes, nothing crazy,” Spaun said. “Then, the next thing you know, I’m as connected to the lead. I think, and within the four holes of restart. It just goes back to it, as you just try to stay there. You don’t have to do anything crazy, especially in an open. All those things made it a reality.”
