J.J. Spaun's victory at the U.S. Open and a hefty winner's check vaulted him into the top three on the PGA Tour money list.

Championship Sunday got a little wilder for U.S. Open winner JJ Spaun as he and his wife, Melody, may not be on the best of terms.

Spaun, who up until Sunday had a grand total of one (1) PGA Tour victory to his credit, won the U.S. Open on talent, yes. But he won it on tenacity, too, and bend-but-don’t-break mental toughness. He won it because he hung around long enough to make exactly the right move at exactly the right moment.

Oakmont was almost unplayable Sunday afternoon in the rain. But in the end, it was exactly what Spaun needed to become one of the unlikeliest U.S. Open champions.

JJ Spaun entered extremely rare territory with his epic finish to win the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club on Sunday evening.

After his sensational comeback win at the 2025 U.S. Open, J.J. Spaun boosted his career earnings to $22.281 million.
