Who won the 2025 U.S. Open?

J.J. Spaun’s winning performance

Total: 279 (-1) · Rounds: 66-72-69-72 · Sunday front nine: 40 · Sunday back nine: 32

J.J. Spaun, a 34-year-old who arrived with one PGA Tour victory (USOpen.com), joined the U.S. Open’s winners in only his second start in the championship (USOpen.com). His four rounds at Oakmont — 66, 72, 69 and 72 — added up to the only under-par score in the field (PGA Tour). The decisive moment came on the 72nd hole: a birdie from approximately 64 feet that sealed the two-stroke win (PGA Tour).

• Spaun made five bogeys in his first six holes of the final round (NBC Sports).
• He turned a front-nine 40 into a back-nine 32 with birdies on 17 and 18 (USOpen.com; NBC Sports).
• He became the only player to finish under par after 72 holes (PGA Tour).

The pattern: Spaun’s first major did not arrive with a flawless Sunday. It arrived because his worst stretch of the day was followed by a back nine that answered every question.

Runner-up Robert MacIntyre

• Final score: 281 (+1), two strokes behind Spaun (PGA Tour).
• Round-by-round: 70-74-69-68 (NBC Sports).
• His 68 on Sunday was his best round of the week (NBC Sports).

MacIntyre finished alone in second at 1-over, the only player within two shots of the champion (PGA Tour). The Scot’s Sunday 68 was one of the day’s best rounds, but Spaun’s birdie-birdie finish at 17 and 18 kept every comeback door closed (NBC Sports).

The pattern: MacIntyre did everything a runner-up can do — post a number, then wait. The wait ended with Spaun’s 64-foot putt falling on the last hole.

The pattern: at Oakmont, par was a respected score all week, and Spaun’s 279 was the only number better than it — the leaderboard signature of a U.S. Open champion.

Who were the top 5 finishers in the 2025 U.S. Open?

Positions 1-5 with scores

Because of the three-way tie at fourth, the formal top five actually contains six names (NBC Sports). The gap from first to third was three strokes, and the gap from first to the tied-fourth group was four.

Notable ties

The takeaway: the margin between Spaun’s first major and a tie for fourth was, on Sunday, the length of a 64-foot putt that dropped on the final hole.

When was the 2025 U.S. Open played?

The 125th U.S. Open was played June 12-15, 2025, at Oakmont Country Club (USOpen.com).

What we know — and what we don’t

What the balance says: the headline results are certain, and the open questions are about money and full-board detail — not about who took home the trophy.

What the reporting says

“Spaun Shows Grit, Wins 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont” — the official USGA headline from the night the championship was decided.

USOpen.com — championship recap

“Test of resilience” is how the PGA Tour framed Spaun’s survival — a front nine that produced five bogeys in six holes, followed by a 64-foot birdie on the 72nd to finish the job.

PGA Tour — final-round recap

Robert MacIntyre closed with a 68 to finish alone in second at +1, two strokes behind a first-time major champion.

NBC Sports — final results

The thread through all three reports: the 125th U.S. Open was decided by Spaun’s putter, and the putter was at its best on the final two holes.

The takeaway

For the PGA Tour, Spaun’s win resets the story of the 2025 season: a journeyman with one career victory now owns one of golf’s most demanding trophies. Twelve months after Bryson DeChambeau’s 6-under winning total, Spaun closed this U.S. Open at 1-under — a different course, a different test, and the same lesson about par. For PGA Tour fans planning the rest of their season, the choice is clear: put Spaun on the short list of names to watch at the remaining majors, or let the 125th U.S. Open champion surprise you twice.

What is the difference between the 2024 US Open winner and the 2025 champion?

Bryson DeChambeau won the 2024 U.S. Open with a 6-under-par total (PGA Tour championship records). In 2025, J.J. Spaun won with 1-under par at Oakmont. The different courses and conditions produced a tighter winning margin, but both champions finished as the only player under par in their respective years.
