Jon Rahm closes with two birdies to win U.S. Open

SAN DIEGO -- Jon Rahm is the first Spaniard to win the U.S. Open. Two monumental putts clinched it.

Rahm birdied his final two holes to shoot a 4-under 67 and win the U.S. Open by a shot over Louis Oosthuizen.

Trailing Oosthuizen by a shot when he stepped to the 17th tee, Rahm tied for the lead with a 24-foot birdie putt on the par-4. He hit his second shot on the par-5 18th hole into a bunker right of the green and blasted it out to 18 feet. Rahm curled the putt into the hole and pumped his fist as the crowd roared.
