Final 2025 U.S. Open payouts for every player after J.J. Spaun's wild win at Oakmont

Three months ago, J.J. Spaun missed out on a $4.5 million payday after losing to Rory McIlroy in a three-hole playoff at The Players Championship. But while the 34-year-old didn't collect quite that much on Sunday, he'll undoubtedly be just fine with the $4.3 million check that comes with winning the 2025 U.S. Open.

And make no mistake about it; he earned every single cent of it on a wild and wet Sunday at Oakmont Country Club that featured a one-hour, 36-minute rain delay.

And after a horrific start to his day, Spaun used that delay to his advantage, recomposing himself for the stretch run that saw him become the only player in the field to finish in red figures, ending the championship at 1-under.

Playing in the penultimate pairing alongside Viktor Hovland, Spaun entered the day just one shot back of 54-hole leader Sam Burns but got off to one of the worst starts imaginable, carding bogeys on his first three holes and five of his first six, seemingly dropping out of contention with an opening-nine 40.

But just as Spaun struggled on his front nine, many in front of him on the leaderboard did so on the back side of Oakmont following the weather delay.

Burns actually had his share of struggles on the opening nine as well, posting a 3-over 38. And with Spaun making birdie at the par-5 12th, a hole Burns bogeyed one group later after doubling the 11th, we saw a five-way tie at the top with Spaun, Burns, Adam Scott, Tyrrell Hatton, and Carlos Ortiz all sitting at 1-over.

Spaun took the solo lead with a birdie at the 14th but immediately gave that shot back with a bogey at the 15th after finding the rough off the tee.

Burns had a great chance at his own birdie at 14, but failed to convert the putt, settling for a par. And after twice attempting to get relief from what he believed to be an unplayable lie in the fairway at 15 due to standing water, getting denied both times, he hit a horrific hook into the deep rough and ultimately carded a double bogey, much to his dismay. Another bogey at 16 knocked him further down the leaderboard.

Scott struggled during this stretch as well, making a bogey at 14, a bogey at 15, and a double at 16, thus ending his chance to add a second major championship to his resume.

Ortiz and Hatton faded down the stretch as well, and Hovland, who lurked around the top five all day despite not being able to hole a putt of any great length, also came up a few shots short.

While all of this madness was occurring, Robert MacIntyre, who was well off the pace after some early bogeys of his own, was playing some of the best golf on the course, shooting 2-under after the delay to take the clubhouse lead at 1-over.

But just as the rest of the world did, he sat and watched Spaun put on one of the greatest finishes in Oakmont history.

After a solid par at the lengthy par-3 16th, the Los Angeles native hit a spectacular tee shot into the drivable par-4 17th, ultimately making birdie after his eagle effort slid just past the hole.

Needing only a par on 18 to close out the championship, Spaun did what he needed to do off the tee by finding the fairway. But while he hit the green with his approach, he was left with more than 64 feet to the hole.

But he lucked out something fierce when Hovland's approach came to rest in almost the identical spot. With Hovland further from the cup, Spaun was able to get a great read on the putt, which Hovland rolled roughly five feet past.

And Spaun clearly learned the lesson, draining his birdie effort for a walkoff win at the U.S. Open.

In addition to his $4.3 million paycheck, Spaun earned 750 FedEx Cup points, automatic exemption into the next 10 U.S. Opens, and exemption into the next five Masters, PGA Championships, and Open Championships.
