Golfer J.J. Spaun rallied back from a no good, very bad start to win the U.S. Open by two shots — all of which had him in 'shock' and crediting advice given by Tiger Woods.

J.J. Spaun faced his first big moment on a big stage in golf and he wasn’t ready for it. He didn’t even have a club in his hand. Spaun was a 26-year-old PGA Tour rookie at Torrey Pines in 2017. He was not eligible for the pro-am and wanted to see the North course when he came across an enormous crowd that could mean only one thing: Tiger Woods.

JJ. Spaun fought back to win a dramatic U.S. Open at Oakmont, and the American revealed his friend Max Homa offered a story about Tiger Woods that proved key to his victory

J.J. Spaun won the U.S. Open on Sunday at Oakmont with his wife, Melody, in attendance, but the pair appeared to share an awkward moment in the immediate aftermath of his victory.

As Spaun closed in on a career-defining win, a piece of advice from the 15-time major winner, via Max Homa, crept into his head.
