PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- Gary Woodland, who hadn't finished in the top 10 of a major championship until last year, held off a charge from two-time defending champion Brooks Koepka to win the 119th U.S. Open at Pebble Beach for his first major victory on Sunday.
Woodland, who started the final round with a one-stroke lead, shot 2-under par and finished 13 under over 72 holes to win by three strokes over Koepka, who was trying to become the first man in 114 years to win three consecutive U.S. Open titles.
