U.S. Open winner J.J. Spaun jumped to No. 8 in the Official World Golf Rankings released Monday, a meteoric rise from 109th to begin the season. Spaun began last week ranked 28th in the OWGR before he scored a two-stroke victory over Robert MacIntyre of Scotland with consecutive birdies in his final round at Oakmont Country Club on Sunday to win the U.

J.J. Spaun winning his first major after a 64-foot and 5-inches long final putt on the rainy 18th green at Oakmont.

The shots that will go down in history are the drive he hit on the reachable par-4 17th and the 65-foot putt he sank with the sun going down and the rain falling on 18.
