JJ Spaun shocked the golf world yesterday when he came through in the clutch to lock up the U.S. Open title and his first Major Championship victory, essentially propelling him into golf stardom with his performance at Oakmont.

It seemed to be anyone’s tournament as the final pairing of Adam Scott and Sam Burns made the turn. However, rainy, wet conditions, along with Oakmont’s already tough layout, put at least five golfers in the running for the win.

Spaun relied on his L.A.B. Golf DF3 putter to bring home what was perhaps the most difficult U.S. Open trophy to obtain in recent memory, but over the last seven holes, it truly shone.

Spaun made 136 feet of putts over the final seven holes, including a 65-foot, 5-inch putt on the 72nd to capture the trophy and win by two strokes.

Here are the distances of each putt he made from hole 12 onward:

  • Hole 18: 64 ft 5 in.
  • Hole 17: 3 ft 6 in
  • Hole 16: 2 ft 11 in.
  • Hole 15: 18 in
  • Hole 14: 22 ft 1 in.
  • Hole 13: 21 in
  • Hole 12: 40 ft 5 in.

Spaun ranked incredibly well over the course of the weekend in Strokes Gained Putting. He was 2nd for the tournament, and was 2nd during the first round, 57th during the second round, 3rd during the third round, and 4th during the fourth round in the statistic.

Here are the specs of his DF3 putter:

  • Length: 34 inches
  • Lie Angle: 70 degrees
  • Shaft: L.A.B. Golf x TPT Golf
  • Shaft Lean: 2 Degrees
  • Alignment Marking: Single line (D)
  • Color: Charcoal
  • Grip: Scotty Cameron Black Studio Design
