Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick won the U.S. Open at The Country Club by one shot over world number one Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris on Sunday to claim his first major title.
Fitzpatrick, who began the day in a share of the lead with playing partner Zalatoris and one shot clear of defending champion Jon Rahm, shot a closing two-under-par 68 that left him at six under on the week at the year's third major.
From there, Fitzpatrick unleashed a clutch shot that reached the green and then two-putted from 18 feet to seal the biggest win of his career. By pulling out the victory, Fitzpatrick joins golfing great Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win a U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur at the same venue.
