The 17th hole proved to be a turning point. Spaun teed off powerfully, landing his ball on the green from an impressive 309 yards away. Although his eagle putt missed, a composed birdie putt from 3½ feet secured his lead.
And the finale! As the rain poured down, making conditions challenging, Spaun calmly approached the 18th hole. Despite being a tricky 64½ feet from the pin, he needed only a two-putt to secure the win. But in a moment that will go down in history, Spaun holed the lengthy birdie putt with a dramatic flourish, sealing his place as the 2025 U.S. Open champion.
Interestingly, Spaun became the first U.S. Open winner to start the final round with three consecutive holes over par, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Talk about dramatic comebacks!

World number one Scottie Scheffler from the USA and Northern Ireland's golf star Rory McIlroy wound up tied for seventh with Burns, while German Stephan Jaeger had already missed the cut earlier.
