Justin Thomas Reacts to J.J. Spaun’s Stunning US Open Victory Amid Oakmont Challenges
J.J. Spaun’s impressive win at the 2025 US Open at Oakmont Country Club has turned heads across the golf world, and Justin Thomas was one of the first to respond. Known for its punishing layout and the notorious 13 Church Pews between the third and fourth fairways, Oakmont offered a grueling test heightened by rain conditions. Yet Spaun emerged victorious, finishing 1-under to claim his first US Open title.
Holy…. That was INSANE. Congrats JJ!

Following the final round, Justin Thomas took to social media platform X to share his thoughts. His first post praised Spaun’s gritty performance, saying:
“Holy…. That was INSANE. Congrats JJ!”
He later commented on the extreme course conditions with another post that read:
“Man…. This course looking a little questionable to play right now.”
Despite his support for Spaun, Thomas himself has struggled in recent US Opens.
