The American Gary Woodland is the new champion of the US Open, which has been played at the centenary course of Pebble Beach, on the shores of the Californian Pacific. Woodland, who wins his first major, arrived at Sunday as leader and resisted the onslaught of his compatriot Brooks Koepka, winner of the two previous editions and the recent PGA Championship in Bethpage, New York, and finished with 13 under par, three strokes behind Koepka (-10). <\/p>\n
It is the fifth consecutive US Open trophy to stay in the United States, since Germany\u2019s Martin Kaymer\u2019s victory in 2014.<\/p>\n
Englishman Justin Rose (-7), winner of the 2013 edition, came to threaten Woodland\u2019s lead, but a succession of bogeys in the last holes left him within a quartet of thirds formed by Americans Xander Schauffele (-7) and Chez Revie (-7), and Spaniard Jon Rahm (-7).<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve played a course as complicated as this one. I didn\u2019t need to do anything very special, just stay close to the leaders and wait for the opportunity,\u201d said Rahm, who did not achieve his goal, but did achieve his best ranking in a U.S. Open and in a major.<\/p>\n
The week began with speculation about Koepka\u2019s third consecutive victory and the possibility of star Tiger Woods conquering his 16th major after winning the 2019 Augusta Masters.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a disastrous start and was able to fight my way back. I turned the score around and got under par,\u201d said Woods of his final round and final score of -2, well off the winner.<\/p>\n
Woodland\u2019s -13 is a record score at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, although he is only three strokes ahead of the runner-up. In the 2000 US Open, Woods swept this course with a score of -12 and no less than 15 strokes ahead of the runners-up, South Africa\u2019s Ernie Els and Spain\u2019s Miguel Angel Jimenez. <\/p>\n
In 2019 there have been four Spanish participants, Rahm, Sergio Garcia (+4), Rafa Cabrera Bello (+5) and Adri Arnaus (+6). All four made the cut, but, except for Rahm, the rest finished in the lower part of the ranking. <\/p>\n
Now lies ahead the last major of the year, The Open in Portrush, Northern Ireland, where the Europeans will try to end the dominance of the Americans in the three majors contested in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Rahm, among the best<\/strong><\/p>\n Jon Rahm, tied for third, noted that \u201cit\u2019s a tough course. It was my best finish at the U.S. Open after a couple of bad weeks,\u201d said Rahm, who has been under par in all four rounds and felt \u201cmentally calm.\u201d<\/p>\n The Biscayan golfer, six strokes behind the winner, pointed out that \u201cit had been a long time since I had played on a course as complicated as this one. I didn\u2019t need to do anything very special, just stay close to the leaders and wait for the opportunity,\u201d said the golfer from Barrika, who has not ruled out winning the trophy at the start of his round of -3.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a good week and now I\u2019m really looking forward to Valderrama,\u201d said a satisfied Rahm, who will again take part in the first European Tour tournament of the year in Spain at the end of June.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s see if I can have a resolution process with the course, because the last time I was there it was not a good week,\u201d said Jon Rahm about the course in Cadiz, where he will play against Sergio Garcia, winner of the previous edition.<\/p>\n Despite coming into the weekend for the first time after seven consecutive majors missing the cut, Garcia has slipped back over the last two rounds to finish at +4, at the bottom of the leaderboard.<\/p>\n \u201cThe week has been tough. With the good weather, it\u2019s been the easiest US Open ever at Pebble Beach, but unfortunately we\u2019re playing poorly and it is what it is,\u201d said Sergio Garcia, who has accumulated no less than 81 major appearances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The American Gary Woodland is the new champion of the US Open, which has been played at the centenary course of Pebble Beach, on the shores of the Californian Pacific.
