Worst break of this year’s U.S. Open? J.J. Spaun’s precise shot gets brutal rejection

BRUTAL break for Spaun off the flagstick at hole 2
J.J. Spaun did everything right on this approach at hole 2 on U.S. Open Sunday. The flagstick didn't care.

J.J. Spaun was dialed in with his approach shot on the second hole Sunday at Oakmont.

Too dialed in.

His wedge from 94 yards took one hop, hit the flagstick and ricocheted back, rolling off the green and 50 yards away (video above).

Spaun was unable to save par and began the final round of the 125th U.S. Open bogey-bogey-bogey to drop three shots back of leader Sam Burns.
