OAKMONT, Pa. — The U.S. Open came to Oakmont for a record 10th time and the venerable western Pennsylvania course delivered a tough week and a particularly wild Sunday.
Little-known J.J. Spaun won his first major after a 64-foot birdie putt at the 72nd hole, giving him a total of 1-under-par 279. Had he two-putted from that distance for par, even par would have been the winning score for the week.
