Overview

  • J.J. Spaun shot a leading opening round at Oakmont Country Club and enters the final day of the 2025 U.S. Open vying for his first major championship.
  • Melody Means Spaun, whom he met in Orange County in 2013 and married in 2019, maintains a low public profile with no personal social media presence.
  • In 2023, Melody introduced a “five-hour rule” limiting Spaun’s daily practice to sharpen his focus on the course and preserve time with their family.
  • Her encouragement to seek medical attention in 2019 led to Spaun’s type 2 diabetes diagnosis and spurred him to adopt a managed health routine while competing on the PGA Tour.
  • When their second daughter, Violet, arrived two days before the 2023 Travelers Championship, the couple coordinated Spaun’s return to competition without compromising family needs.
