Scottish heartbreak at US Open

  • JJ Spaun won the US Open, preventing Robert MacIntyre from becoming Scotland's first major champion since 1999.
  • Spaun finished with a birdie on the 17th and a 64-foot putt on the 18th to win.
  • MacIntyre, who shot a 2-under-par 68, was the clubhouse leader before Spaun's final performance.
  • A thunderstorm caused a 96-minute delay, after which Spaun improved his game, while leaders Sam Burns and Adam Scott struggled.
  • Burns, the overnight leader, finished tied for seventh after struggling with the wet conditions post-restart and disputing a ruling regarding standing water on the 15th fairway.
