Oakmont was almost unplayable Sunday afternoon in the rain. But in the end, it was exactly what Spaun needed to become one of the unlikeliest U.S. Open champions.
J.J. Spaun, 34, who started Sunday one stroke behind 54-hole leader Sam Burns, survived a terrible start and challenging elements to pull away from the pack and capture his first major title with a two-stroke win in the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club.
