J.J. Spaun shares adorable moments with daughters, wife after US Open win on Fathers Day
On Father’s Day, J.J.
Spaun may have been the happiest dad on the planet. Not only did the pro golfer capture his first major title, winning the 125th U.S.Open at Oakmont Country Club, but he got to celebrate the milestone in adorable fashion with his two little daughters and his wife. Spaun won his first major championship on Sunday with a two-stroke victory, birdieing on the 17th hole to move ahead by one stroke and then sinking 64½-foot putt for birdie on 18 to secure the win. After the putt went in and the crowd went crazy, Spaun bear hugged his caddy and the NBC cameras flashed to Spaun’s wife, Melody, and the couple’s two kids, Emerson Lili and Violet Windsor, as they celebrated from the stands. At one point, the couple’s oldest daughter turned around with a smile on her face, reacting to the moment. As the celebration continued, Spaun was reunited with his family, picking up his oldest daughter, Emerson Lili, and gave her a kiss on the cheek before kissing his wife and their other daughter Violet, who has been dealing with a stomach bug that had Spaun at CVS at 3 a.m.

I have no words to describe the moment and them being able to see me as the winner.“My daughter always asks me, every time dad goes golfing, she’s like, Were you the winner today? Sometimes I’m like, Yeah, I was.She’s like, Where’s my surprise? So today she’s like, You’re the winner today.
Like she got to see it.She didn’t...
