On a day built for umbrellas, panchos and industrial-sized squeegees, Spaun reversed his own freefall, took advantage of several others' and hit two shots that turned him into a major champion while finally, mercifully, creating a moment to remember at the rain-soaked brute called Oakmont.

J.J. Spaun drained an incredible 64-foot birdie putt that snaked across a sodden 18th green to win the U.S. Open by two shots from Robert MacIntyre on Sunday as the Californian claimed his first major after a chaotic final round at Oakmont Country Club.

After a lengthy weather delay forced play to be suspended for over 90 minutes, J.J Spaun used that time to reset and come from behind to win first major.
