My Take

J. J. Spaun's 2025 U.S. Open victory is the kind of story that keeps me watching golf. He turned professional in 2012, ground through the developmental circuits, earned his PGA Tour card in 2016, and waited until 2022 for a first win — then, in his mid-thirties, beat the world's best at a major. At 175 centimeters he is hardly the prototype of the modern power player, which makes the achievement sweeter. I love athletes who arrive late and earn everything; Spaun's career is proof that patience and self-belief can outlast raw talent. He has become my favorite kind of champion: an unassuming man doing extraordinary things.
