Brooks Koepka shot a final-round 2-under 68 at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club to capture his second-straight U.S. Open banner.
Koepka finished at 1-over par 281, one shot clear of runner-up Tommy Fleetwood, who posted a record-tying 63 on Sunday.
The Florida State product becomes the first player since Curtis Strange to successfully defend a U.S. Open title, and the first since Padraig Harrington (2007 and 2008 Open Championship) to repeat at a major.
