American Brooks Koepka became the first player in three decades to win back-to-back US Opens by finishing the final round with a 68 and an overall score of 281 (+1) at Shinnecock Hills, New York.<\/p>\n
Koepka beat the British Tommy Fleetwood by one stroke, who finished the round with the best score of 63 (-7) and totaled 282 (+2).<\/p>\n
A year after claiming victory with a 16-under-par total at Erin Hills, Koepka kept his cool on the back nine to emerge with a 281 total.<\/p>\n
The world number nine is the seventh player to win the US Open in succession. Previous winners include Willie Anderson (1903-1904), John McDermott (1911-1912), Bobby Jones (1929-1930), Ralph Guldahl (1937-1938), Ben Hogan (1950-1951) and Curtis Strange (1988-1989). <\/p>\n
Britain’s Fleetwood, ranked 12th, equaled the lowest round of the U.S. Open at seven under par.<\/p>\n
Fleetwood completed a day that included eight birdies, putting pressure on the previous day’s leaders: Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Daniel Berger and Tony Finau.<\/p>\n
Koepka stretched his lead to two strokes with a birdie on the par-five 16th hole, where he birdied his third shot to within five feet of the flag.<\/p>\n
Of the four leaders from the previous day, Koepka was the only player to shoot a final round under par with a 68 (-2).<\/p>\n
Fellow American Dustin Johnson, world number one, finished with a 70, even with the field, to finish in third place with 283 (+3).<\/p>\n
The only Spaniard in contention after Friday’s cut, Rafa Cabrero-Bello, was not in tune with the putter and signed a final round of 76, which relegated him to the thirty-sixth final position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
