As I watched JJ Spaun make a remarkable closing-hole birdie to win his maiden Major Championship at the US Open, I reflected on how different I’d have felt about his victory a couple of years ago.
Spaun is very much in the Scottie Scheffler mould – he’s not brash, extravagant or flamboyant. He doesn’t get too high or too low. If we’re being honest, he’s not the most riveting player to watch.
