Srixon – Unmatched grit, major glory: J.J. Spaun conquers 2025 U.S. Open with ZX7 Irons and Z-STAR Diamond ball

June 16, 2025 – With unwavering resilience and poise, Srixon staffer J.J. Spaun delivered a major championship breakthrough at the 2025 U.S. Open, conquering the brutal test of Oakmont Country Club to claim his first major championship title.

The victory comes just months after Spaun’s close-call at The PLAYERS Championship – a near miss that tested his resolve but was important for his confidence moving forward. Despite mounting championship pressure and tough elements all day, Spaun remained calm after a shaky start that included a 5-over 40 to open his front nine. After an extended weather delay, Spaun started four back after the turn and hit the reset button. He would go on to fire an incredible 3-under 32, punctuated by a 64-foot birdie putt on the 18th green to finish the tournament at 1-under-par and two clear of the field.

“I never thought I would be here holding this trophy. I’ve always had aspirations and dreams, but like I said a few months ago, I never knew what my ceiling was. I never knew how good I could be, but I’m just proud I’ve been resilient in my career and pushed through a lot of things. Just trying to be the best golfer I can be, and I’m happy to be able to display that today at Oakmont,” said J.J. Spaun.

Spaun surged to an early lead with a historic front-nine 31 in Thursday’s opening round—the lowest ever recorded at Oakmont in U.S. Open history. That momentum carried through the week as he battled both the field and the course’s demands. Leaning heavily on his Srixon Z-STAR Diamond golf ball, Srixon ZX7 Ironsand Cleveland RTZ and RTX Wedges, Spaun highlighted his precision and creativity around the greens, finishing T9 in Greens in Regulation and inside the Top-20 in Strokes Gained: Around the Greens.

This is Spaun’s second career victory and wins the U.S. Open in only his second appearance. He now moves into sixth position in the FedExCup rankings.

With an electric finish on one of the most challenging courses in the world, Spaun was the only player to finish under par. His performance not only etched his name into major championship history but highlights the elite tools he used to get there.

  • Driver: Titleist GT3 (9º, Fujikura Ventus Black VeloCore+ 6 X)
  • Fairway woods: TaylorMade Qi10 3 y 5 (15º y 18º, Mitsubishi Diamana PD 70 TX y 80 TX)

Titleist – Already the 77th Consecutive Editions as the No.1 Golf Ball at the U.S. Open Championship

June 14, 2025 – In June 1949, at Medinah Country Club, more competitors at the U.S. Open chose to put a Titleist golf ball in play than any other brand. For the first time, Titleist was the No. 1 ball played at the U.S. Open Championship.

That trust has continued over time, as this week at Oakmont Country Club, for the 77th consecutive year, 107 players (68.6%) teed off their Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf balls to face one of the most challenging tests in golf.

They trust them when precision is everything, when they know they need to unleash the best golf they have, and when making history is on the line.

And when faced with one of the game’s most demanding course setups, more and more players are choosing to play Titleist drivers (37%), Titleist irons (31%) and Titleist Vokey wedges (51%) at Oakmont, making it the No. 1 brand in those categories as well, with more golf clubs than any other brand.
