Finau on the par 3 17th hits it where Koepka was for a real chance at birdie.
Justin Rose for birdie at 18.....it slides right at the hole and he taps in for par. Rose finishes at +7. Now Stenson at +5 for par on 18. Looks like about 5 feet. NOPE.....goes by and still has some work at 4 feet. Bogey finish for Stenson to end up at +6.
Okay folks.....here is Koepka's approach to 18....he needs to keep it below the hole. OH NOOO!!! It goes left long and hits off the grandstands!!! Now DJ's approach... a great shot in birdieland. Finau's birdie attempt burns the lip at 17.
What a wild finish here.....we stil need to see where Koepka's ball ended up. Luckily he's got that 2-shot cushion.
He does not have to pitch it across the bunker.....he can chip it or putt it.....but its a downhiller about 20 yrds from the surface. Very nicely done.....about 10 feet for par.
Finau on the 18th tee now and finds the fescue.
Dustin Johnson will be putting for birdie and Koepka for par. DJ is further away and will putt first. Hey....lookie there.....a birdie at the last for DJ!!! Good Stuff there, folks. Now for Koepka and to lock up the US Open. He has two putts for the win. A winding touchy dawg.....he just misses it...but taps it in for the win!!! Brooks Koepka repeats and defends his US Open title. He finishes at +1.
Koepka wins at +1; Fleetwood at +2; Dustin Johnson at +3; Reed at +4. Berger and Finau coming in on 18 for the finish. Berger's ball rolled back off the green, and Finau out of the deep rough.....neither on the green here.
Congrats to Brooks Koepka for this great victory.....he made one clutch shot after another all day long with the lead and the pressure squarely on him.
Now Finau coming out of the heather on his 3rd shot.....did not reach the green again. Berger will have a chip for his 3rd shot from in front of the green.
Finau out of the bunker now for par. Good shot there.....about 5 feet from the pin. Now Berger will hit his chip for birdie. He's currently at +6. Berger comes up shorter than Finua and will putt first.
Berger is putting for par.....Finau for bogey. Both are putting for big bucks!!! Berger makes a clutch par save putt. Good for him. Now Finau for bogey. He's at +3 now. Putting into his shadow.....he misses. Now he finishes at +5 with that double bogey finish.
Well.....it's over folks and now I can finally get off this crazy thread after a loooong 4 days......Sheesh!!! It started out exciting, then got interesting, then nightmarish, and finally exciting again with a very competitive finish. I'm outta here.
