From His Savage Sawgrass Hurt To JJ Spaun’s Oakmont Victory Elation
There, J.J. Spaun stood. Sixty-four feet and five inches from a dream he never got far enough to craft. A dream, 12 months earlier, he came to grips with that might never materialize, and just nine holes earlier, it looked fleeting.
Three months ago, from a spot not too different, Spaun watched as his ball stopped hauntingly short, squandering a chance to alter the trajectory of his career with a win at THE PLAYERS Championship.
This time, in the misty hue of history, on a property that ...
MacIntyre’s Oakmont Agony Eased By Bethpage Park Black Certanity.
Top-ranked Scot Robert MacIntyre’s agony in going so close to success in the US Open at Oakmont has been eased by the assurance he will be pulling on the European Ryder Cup team colours for a second time later this year at Bethpage Park Black.
MacIntyre went so close to becoming the first Scottish-born golfer in a century to win the US Open trophy and a first-born golfer since 1999 to win a major championship before losing out by two shots to American J J Spaun.
Spaun, 31, emerged a weather-delayey ...

McIlroy’s Brutal US Open Assessment: “Pretty Average”.
He’s golf’s newest Grand Slam champion but for Rory McIlroy, and also the proud 2011 US Open winner, the 2025 US Open will be one Rors will be looking to quickly forget.
McIlroy stood outside the Oakmont clubhouse early Saturday afternoon, finished with his third round before the leaders had begun theirs. A horde of interested reporters gathered around the disinterested world No. 2, wondering what he thought of his week thus far.
McIlroy’s assessment was sobering.
RORS BRUTAL ...
Victor Perez’s Ace Just A Second In Oakmont History & His Second This Month.
French golfing ace Victor Perez’s on day two of the 2025 US Open was remarkably just a second hole-in-one in Oakmont history.
As well, and as Victor revealed hereunder, it was his second hole-in-one this month.
VICTOR PEREZ: Yeah, obviously a hole-in-one takes a little luck. Obviously I was trying to hit something maybe 15, 20 feet past the hole and it maybe spun a little bit more and bounced in, so a little fortunate which I’ll definitely take going into the weekend.
Q. What club?

For the 34-year-old Arizona-based Spaun his round of a four-under 66 was the best in his 25 rounds playing in his ninth appearance in a major since making his debut at the game’s highest level at the 2018 PGA Championship.
And Spaun spoke of his pre-US Open work on his game back home that included going “down a rabbit hole for a few days back home”.
“I’m really picky with ...
