Jordan Spieth, 21, of Dallas, Texas, became the youngest U.S. Open champion since 1923 with his one-stroke victory over Dustin Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen at first-time venue Chambers Bay, in University Place, Wash. Spieth, who carded a final-round, 1-under 69 for a 72-hole score of 5-under 275, joined Craig Wood, Ben Hogan (twice), Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only players to win the Masters and the U.S. Open in the same year. Spieth, who was also the youngest to win two majors since Gene Sarazen in 1922, entered the final round tied for the lead with Johnson, Jason Day and Branden Grace. In a dramatic finish, Spieth made a 27-footer for birdie on No. 16 for a two-stroke lead, while Grace made double bogey. Spieth blocked a 6-iron into the high fescue rough on the par-3 17th and three-putted for his own double bogey that dropped him into a tie with Oosthuizen, of South Africa. Oosthuizen shot 29 on the inward nine, the third player in U.S. Open history to accomplish the feat, en route to a sparkling 67. Spieth quickly recovered on the par-5 finishing hole when he reached the green in two and the result was a tap-in birdie. Johnson, who was playing behind Spieth, regrouped from a string of bogeys in the middle of his round when he stuffed his tee shot on No. 17 to within 4 feet to set up a birdie. He reached the 18th tee needing an eagle to win and a birdie to force an 18-hole Monday playoff. But Johnson missed a 12-foot eagle putt and failed to convert the 4-foot comebacker in the shocking ending to the first U.S. Open held in the Pacific Northwest.
