J.J. Spaun credited the US Open triumph for the huge difference in mindset shift. Spaun stood in second place in the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where Justin Rose won the tournament in a playoff.
Following the completion of the event, Spaun joined the post-tournament press conference and talked about his mindset shift in 2025 with his recent major tournament victory at the 2025 US Open. He shared ( via ASAP Sports):
“It's obviously made a huge difference. I don't know what's gotten into me, honestly. I think I'm just content with what I've done in this game and now it's just kind of free rolling. Just trying to win, and I think that's a freeing mentality to have…I'm not sure. I'm seeing the lines much better. The speed with my putter is a lot better, so I'm not worried about mis-hitting it with the technology in the putter that I use. It always carries good speed, and speed is king when it comes to making longer putts, and it's obviously helped this year.”

He continued,
“We couldn't tell if it was going to break right or not. We played it left center. Just lack of commitment and tugged it, and I tried to firm it just because the next putt was good.”
Last year, J. J. Spaun missed ten cutlines, but this year, the golfer's performance trajectory got better, and he also had a victory along with three runner-up finishes. He had a T2 at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, a second-place finish at THE PLAYERS Championship, and a second-place finish at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
