JJ Spaun wins us open: Pga Tour Journeyman’s Rise to “Fairytale” GLory Major Glory and Ryder Cup Conneration | Golf news

JJ Spaun thought of contacting his career in golf a few months before his “stories” and the great changing success of life in the United States Open.

Spon has become the latest big golf champion by beating Ocont Contesty Club, where he recovered from the start of a nightmare to save 72 years and end the week as the only player under the foot of equality, and he continued to rise in the great rise in the men’s match.

The 34 -year -old spent years in small rounds before storming the PGA round and previously failed to build on his victory in the Valero Texas Open 2022, and managed to keep full -time last year.

“Last year in June, I looked like I was going to lose my job, and that was when I had that moment, if this was the way I went out, I might swing,” Spon said. “This is a type of mantra that I had throughout the year.”

America kept the American PGA TOUR card for 2025, and he discussed on multiple occasions this season without reaching the winner’s circle, with another opportunity looking at Oakmont after five ghosts in the first six holes from his last tour that left him five strikes.

While the chasing package was on the shots at the Golf Fateer, after a lengthy weather, Spown was more difficult by installing long -range birds on the back nine to find himself suddenly on top of the leaders.

After Bob Macintyre produced his Sunday charge to set the club’s goal, SPAun continued a seventeenth -placed bilateral bird by setting a wonderful victory with a 65 -foot width – the longest per week – on the final green color to close its victory in its style.

“It is definitely like the book of stories, the end of fairy tales, a kind of weak fighting, not surrender, does not give up.” “With rain and everything and then Putt, you couldn’t write a better story. I’m so lucky to be at the recipient.

“Just to end it like this is just a dream. You are watching others do it. You see the chip of the tiger (Woods), you see that Nick Taylor, you see crazy moments. To have my own moment in this tournament, I will never forget this moment for the rest of my life.”

“I was constantly there” – Spaun season before Glory Major

Spaun’s main success is raised to the highest rank in the world No. 8 – after the year began outside the list of the best 100 in the world – and even sixth place in the Fedexcup ranking, which makes it likely to display it in the tour championship at the end of the season in PGA for the first time after an unforgettable campaign.

He took the initiative one in the last round of the Sony Open in January, when he was left the ghost of the penultimate hole and closed it on an equal footing in the third place and one round outside the match.

SPAun finished tied a few weeks after The Cognizant Classic, after receiving 66 ghost -free on the last day, before seeing him a great performance on the players that Rory Mcilroy pursued to Monday.

He got 54 hole in TPC Sawgrass and recovered from the mid -tour of Birdie, two of his last four holes, and took him to the match when Mcilroy detonated his late progress, but a triple courage in the second additional hole has finished his hopes.

SPAUN also started strong beginnings with opening rounds of 66 and 67, respectively, at the RBC Heritage and Truist championship, both of which happened on the PGA tour, while 66-68 started on its way until the sixth completion of the sixth in Charles Schwab Challenge.

“I have always been there,” said Spon. “Everyone knows that the more you put yourself there, the better you have results, the better you will play it, then convert one of these close calls to win.

“The players were a kind of spring in self -belief because I was not as if I were fake. Perhaps you can falsify it in Sony and realize it or anything else, but to do this on the players, I did not do it well historically …

“To go to face with Rori on Sunday, then the qualifiers were great for my confidence. Unfortunately, I didn’t win, but it was great for me to return to this experience and know that I can perform on the biggest stages and deal with it by pressing.”

Spaun prevails on the historic Sunday

Spoon scored six ghosts during his last tour, which is more than a winner by Hill Erwin in 1979, while he became the first player to hold the card 40 in any nine specialization and victory since the success of Erney Els in 2002 in the Open Championship.

He had already occupied newspaper headlines earlier in the week by being the only player to connect a ghost -free round to the lead in the first round, where SPAun uses delaying the weather on the last day to reset after what was already on Sunday.

“I was running to CVS (pharmacy) in the city center because my daughter suffers from a stomach error and was vomiting all night,” “My wife was awake at three in the morning and she is like” Violet (daughter) she vomits everywhere, and she cannot keep anything. “

“It was a difficult start in the morning. I do not blame that at my beginning, but it is suitable for what was going on, chaos.

“Regardless of things, I am still trying to adhere to every snapshot. I tried to continue drilling deeply. I was doing it throughout my life.

“I think this was the biggest difference this year was able to do this. Fortunately, I dug very deeply in the ninth, and things went on my way, and here we are with the cup.”

More in the future? “It will be in the Rider Cup

Al -Nasr also jumped to the third place in the ranking of the Rider Cup qualifications before this year’s competition in Bethpage Black, which puts it on the expected automatic rehabilitation sites for the first time in the United States of America.

The Kegan Bradley team will look forward to restoring the cup against the European team after losing in Rome in 2023, when the former Rider Cup captain supported Spon to be a strong addition to the American ranks.

Mc Jinley said in Golf channel. “This is what I liked with him and watched him closely.

“The reactions of the other players tell you how popular the person, the Haton (Haton) and Bob McCaine, like this, who remember Europe, is really happy for a man like this at his moment telling you that he is a famous man.

“Secondly, the wrapping of the golf, for me, I would like to almost claim that it can be the best in the game. It is good. I completely love how it swings.”

Spown may have taken some time to prove the world – and itself – its real potential, but it is now delivered in the biggest stage. As it is placed in the guaranteed golf for years, it can continue to move forward.
