125th US Open: Final Round Live blog

SHANK coverage of the 125th US Open

0115 BST A truly unforgettable, melodramatic Sunday at Oakmont ends with the greatest possible drama and excitement. We expected a fearsome test from Oakmont, and we expected the winner to be around par, what we did not expect is the epic manner that would transpire. Golf delivers yet again, this sport is bloody unbelievable.

JJ Spaun becomes only the second black man to win the US Open, after Tiger Woods. He showed grit and determination to overcome a truly shocking front nine holes, and he produced one of the greatest putts we have ever seen to win his first Major title.

Robert MacIntyre confirmed his place as one of the stars of this sport with a sensational weekend when every other player was melting down. His rise in world golf has been meteoric, from Ryder Cup rookie in Rome, to PGA Tour winner in Canada, to Scottish Open success at Renaissance, and now a runner-up in the rain at Oakmont.

Tyrrell Hatton came oh so close to securing his first Major title and rubber-stamping his place as one of the greatest golfers in the world. For Adam Scott and Sam Burns it was Sunday splishing and sploshing around Pennsylvania, and rounds of 79 and 78 saw them sink.

The US Open is back. A proper test. As it should be.

0108 BST JJ SPAUN HOLES FROM 65 FEET! JJ SPAUN IS THE 125TH US OPEN CHAMPION. ROBERT MACINTYRE'S HOPES END IN HEARTBREAK. 31 YEARS ON FROM MONTGOMERIE'S PLAYOFF DEFEAT, A SCOT IS RUNNER-UP AT OAKMONT AGAIN. WHAT A US OPEN, WHAT A FINISH, WHAT A SPORT.
