From nightmare to dreamland
J J Spaun began his final round of the US Open scoring five on each of the first five holes.
At that point, he must have thought his dream was dead in the water.
Credit where it is due, the American somehow managed to reset mentally and clawed his way back towards the top of the leaderboard.
Walking to that sixth tee, had you told him he would win this tournament, even the player may have questioned your sanity.
He proved one thing today, if you remain positive and give it your all, anything is possible.
Something that we all should consider about life in general, never give up, anything is possible with application and belief.
Life changing moment for American
Pressure, what pressure?
Spaun put all nerves to one side and opted to attack as he done all day on his final round.
As his putt snaked towards the hole, it had some pace on it, risking going a distance from the cup if it missed.
He read is perfectly and almost expected to see his ball disappear.
If ever there was a putt that deserved to win a tournament, that was it.
The putt he will never forget
Left with something in the region of a 50 foot putt, J J Spaun decided to attack the cup.
He read the various breaks perfectly as his ball went straight into the middle of the hole.
The crowd erupted as it dropped, he has won his first major.
Viktor gives leader a glimpse of challenge
Hovland’s ball landed almost alongside Spaun’s effort.
The Norwegian takes on the cup but it slides wide and keeps on going.
Now for the biggest putt of the American’s career.
Cometh the moment, cometh the man
This could be the biggest moment of J J Spaun’s career to date.
As he trundles towards the green in heavy rain, it is his to lose.
These are the moments that can make or break a golfer.
