U.S. Open 2025: A Father’s Day Finish Etched in Golf History

U.S. Open 2025: A Father’s Day Finish Etched in Golf History


The 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, held June 12–15, delivered
classic major test case drama: punishing weather, brutal rough, and a final hole
showing that echoed through golf history—just days before Father’s Day.

Rain Delays & Rising Stakes

Heavy downpours halted play Sunday afternoon, forcing a roughly hourandahalf
pause—and entire holes flooded. NBC filled the gap by replaying Tiger Woods'
iconic 2008 U.S. Open win, prompting fans to jokingly wonder: was BigT
breaking out for a second encore?

A Rocky Start Turns to Redemption

JJ Spaun, who held co-lead heading into Sunday, started poorly—dropping five
bogeys in his first six holes. But adversity brought out his best. A 64foot birdie
putt on 18 not only sealed his first major title at 1under—it completed one of the
sport’s fiercest comebacks.

Other Contenders: High Hopes, Tough Breaks

-Sam Burns led through 54 holes but faded late, ultimately finishing tied for 4th
amid Oakmont's relentless grind.

-Adam Scott, just a shot off the lead early Sunday, unraveled under pressure and
tough greens.

-Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler posted respectable rounds but stayed out of
true contention.

The Oakmont Factor: No Room for Errors

Known as the “OakMonster,” Oakmont is unforgiving, and this year’s setup lived
up to its fearsome reputation: narrow fairways, deep rough, razorfast greens.
This course doesn’t just reward brilliance—it punishes anything less.

Father’s Day Meets FinalRound Fire

The U.S. Open’s aligning with Father’s Day is no accident—it’s tradition. The
tournament has landed on Dad’s weekend since 1976, creating moments that
connect generations through shared golf memories. Oakmont 2025 gave fans
exactly that: a storybook ending.
