Tiger Woods proved to be a motivation for JJ Spaun's U.S. Open win after a rain-soaked course challenged him to the edge.

U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun said on the Pat McAfee Show that he watched highlights of Tiger Woods' win at the 2008 U.S. Open during the fourth-round rain delay on Sunday at Oakmont Country Club.

J.J. Spaun's US Open campaign at Oakmont appeared destined for disaster after a catastrophic start to his final round on Sunday. The 34-year-old made five bogeys in six holes, watching his championship hopes seemingly evaporate on one of golf's most demanding courses.
