Matthew Fitzpatrick has been crowned US Open champion after seeing off Will Zalatoris in a tense final round at The Country Club in Brookline. The Englishman repeated the heroics he showed at the US Amateur nine years prior on the exact same course, to write his name into the golf history books.
The day began with Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris leading the way, as they headed into the final round tied at the top on four-under-par. The man snapping at their heels though was world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, and a quick start from the recently crowned Masters champion saw his name jump to the top after birdieing four of his first six holes.
Meanwhile in the final group, it was the Englishman who started quickest, as he himself found two early birdies across his opening five holes to leave him six-under the tournament - level with Scheffler at the top. Zalatoris however struggled to get going early on, as back-to-back birdies at two and three left him trailing the the two leaders, after being the man on top just half-an-hour or so before hand.
