The 27-year-old edged past world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris by a single shot following an enthralling, roller coaster battle with the American duo in Brookline, Massachusetts.Victory sees the world No. 18 make history as only the second player -- and the first non-American -- to win both the US Amateur and US Open at the same venue, having won at The Country Club in 2013.
"This week I hit some of the worst shots I've hit in my career, and I've hit some of the best ones, so it was kind of a roller-coaster weekend," Scheffler told reporters. "Tip of the hat to Fitzy. He's been playing really good golf and he definitely deserved to win this event."Hideki Matsuyama carded a blistering, event-best 65 to finish fourth at 3 under, with Collin Morikawa and Rory McIlroy tied for fifth, one stroke behind.
