118th U.S. Open Championship

Fleetwood must have a great shout at winning this. In at +2 and this isn't getting any easier.

I think that missed putt at the last could cost him dearly. Hopefully not.

Should be a good watch now though, an early clubhouse total always adds an extra dynamic to the day.

They had better not suspend play to water the greens like they did last time. Will smack of making sure a murican wins.

[John Lambies Doos]

Can never get as excited with a last day usa open or PGA than I do with open or masters. Anyways I reckon Fleetwood has this.

'If I was "DJ" I'd be quite tempted to become the "big guy" and take a sand wedge off my biggest fans' heads. Followed quickly by repairing the resultant pitch mark off the irritating c***s' faces.

Patrick Reed really is a despicable little creep

[Ro Sham Bo]

Koepka is going to win this. He's made some great par putts this back nine.

[Fuctifano]

If Koepka wins he'll have 3 PGA tour wins,  2 of which are the US Open

He is many things, little he is not.

For the avoidance of doubt, I believe you have been far too polite about the fat arsehole.

True. If I'm honest he's an obese Trump loving c**t but I was being polite.

[Fuctifano]

That should do it for Koepka.

Dustin Johnson is like watching someone play good exceptionally well, but in slow motion

[H Wragg]

Until today I’ve never heard of Koepka, then I find out he won this last year too. [emoji51]

[Mark Connolly]

Koepka deserves that - not many people have gone back to back at the US Open, Curtis Strange being the last in 88 and 89.

Bit gutted for Fleetwood, but can see him winning a Major soon, and very probably a US Open - his game seems suited to them.

Quick check shows Willie Anderson has 3 in a row, and Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Strange and now Koepka have gone back to back. Pretty good company there.

[Fuctifano]

Trying to think of a comparable player in terms of profile who's won two majors but I couldn't tell you a single thing about.  Curtis Strange would be the obvious one going back 30 years with the back to back US Open wins, maybe someone like Lee Janzen?

Also, DJ hasn't yet got over his throwing majors in the bin habit even after winning his first, albeit he got screwed by having the hardest of the conditions on the first 3 days.

[Ro Sham Bo]

Fleetwood will replay that last putt a few times tonight but Koepka was ice cool in the back 9. Unlike the likes of Curtis Strange, I think it's a fairly safe bet that won't be the last major he gets a hold of.

[Raidernation]

Good for Koepka.
Although it’s another win for the US college golf machine.
Who was the last major winner not to have gone to a US college golf programme?

Sergio Garcia, and before him, Henrik Stenson

Mickelson getting some real criticism from some big names in the game. He`s trying to claim that he wanted to withdraw but the the USGA wouldn`t let him. Frankly that`s pish.  Had he chosen to, Brooks Koepka could have withdrawn on the 18th green tonight and nobody could have stopped him.  Really poor stuff from Mickelson, a fine reputation  tarnished.  Curtis Strange summed it up beautifully when he said that if his son had done that he would have confiscated his clubs. He seemed aghast that any pro could deliberately do what Mickelson did, never mind someone of Mickelson`s standing. A real low point in a great career.
