The TV ratings for Sunday's final round of the 2025 U.S. Open took a big hit due to a 96-minute weather delay at Oakmont.

J.J. Spaun spoke to the press after his brilliant victory at the 2025 US Open. He revealed the key to his triumph, and it includes one of the giants in golf history: Tiger Woods.

How do Spaun’s odds of winning the U.S. Open compare to other long shots at majors in the past? Per SportsOddsHistory, Spaun had the second-longest odds of any golfer to win a major over the last decade, behind only Phil Mickelson at the 2021 PGA, who entered the event at 250-1.

I tried to just continue to dig deep,” J.J. Spaun said after winning the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont. “I've been doing it my whole life.”

His thrilling victory at Oakmont Country Club on Sunday was another example of the inspiring resilience of a San Dimas High graduate who never forgot his roots.
