Career-defining moment at Oakmont

This was the putt that sealed a first major for J J Spaun.

A 64-foot effort that sailed into the middle of the cup.

You could see just how much this meant to him with his reaction, it may be a moment he rewatches over and over again.

Scot left in disbelief in clubhouse

After seeing how far away his rival’s ball was from the hole, the possibility of it being three putted was a real possibility.

As Robert MacIntyre watched on, seeing the ball weaving its way towards the cup, rueing his luck as he saw it drop.

It was not to be his day today but when you see a putt like that holed, all you can do is applaud the brilliance.

From nightmare to dreamland

J J Spaun began his final round of the US Open scoring five on each of the first five holes.

At that point, he must have thought his dream was dead in the water.

Credit where it is due, the American somehow managed to reset mentally and clawed his way back towards the top of the leaderboard.

Walking to that sixth tee, had you told him he would win this tournament, even the player may have questioned your sanity.

He proved one thing today, if you remain positive and give it your all, anything is possible.

Something that we all should consider about life in general, never give up, anything is possible with application and belief.

Life changing moment for American

Pressure, what pressure?

Spaun put all nerves to one side and opted to attack as he done all day on his final round.

As his putt snaked towards the hole, it had some pace on it, risking going a distance from the cup if it missed.

He read is perfectly and almost expected to see his ball disappear.

If ever there was a putt that deserved to win a tournament, that was it.

The putt he will never forget

Left with something in the region of a 50 foot putt, J J Spaun decided to attack the cup.

He read the various breaks perfectly as his ball went straight into the middle of the hole.

The crowd erupted as it dropped, he has won his first major.
