Overview

  • Spaun, ranked 25th with one prior PGA Tour victory, shot a final-round 72 to finish one-under par, claiming his first major.
  • A 90-minute rain delay left Oakmont fairways soaked and greens slick, intensifying one of golf’s toughest tests.
  • Despite five bogeys in his first six holes of the final round, Spaun rallied with birdies on 17 and 18 to clinch the title.
  • Robert MacIntyre finished runner-up at one-over par; Carlos Ortiz tied for fourth at three-over par.
  • Once Sunday’s leader, Sam Burns recorded an eight-over score in the final round to finish four-over par.
