The US Open Thursday at Oakmont was unforgettable with JJ Spaun showing the way. Here are highlights and scores from the first round.

Burns converts the birdie following a brilliant tee shot on the par-3 13th. He’s at 4 under, one clear of playing competitor J.J. Spaun. The 44-year-old birdies the par-3 13th to get to 1 under. He’s two off the lead, seeking his second major title (2013 Masters).

JJ Spaun won the US Open with a two-shot victory over Scotlands Bob MacIntyre; Englands Tyrell Hatton tied-fourth after bogey-bogey finish; pre-tournament favourite Scottie Scheffler five strokes back

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.

J.J. Spaun overcame five early bogeys and sank a 64-foot birdie putt to win the U.S. Open at a rain-soaked Oakmont on Sunday.

As he stood on the ninth tee box in the pouring rain, it looked for all the world like J.J. Spaun had just played his way out of contention for the 125th US Open championship.
