JJ Spaun’s U.S. Open Win: A 64-Foot Putt and a 3am Pharmacy Run
JJ Spaun delivered one of the most iconic finishes in U.S. Open history, draining a 64-foot birdie putt on the 18th green at Oakmont to win his first major championship.
Spaun’s 64.5-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole at Oakmont was officially the longest putt made by any player during the 2025 U.S. Open. It was also the longest putt Spaun made all season, capping off a remarkable final round where he totaled 137 feet of made putts over the last seven holes.
In pouring rain, under immense pressure, Spaun didn’t just two-putt for the win—he nailed it in one, sending the crowd into a frenzy and securing a moment that will live forever in golf lore.

But what makes Spaun’s win even more remarkable is what happened off the course.
In his post-round press conference, Spaun revealed that he was up at 3 a.m. making a pharmacy run for his daughter, who had been vomiting the night before the final round.
“It was kind of a rough start to the morning,” Sapun told reporters after the victory. “I was at CVS at 3 a.m. trying to get medicine for my daughter. Not exactly the ideal prep for a major final round.”
Despite the sleepless night and early bogeys, Spaun rallied with birdies on 17 and 18, embracing his family in tears after the win. “It’s a fairy tale storybook ending,” he told reporters.
