Bryson DeChambeau secured his second US Open title by one shot, finishing at six under 274, after parring the final three holes. Rory McIlroy, who led by two shots with five holes to play, faltered with bogeys on three of the last four holes, including critical misses from short distances on the 16th and 18th holes. McIlroy, seeking his first major win since 2014, finished as the runner-up for the second consecutive year, his performance marred by missed opportunities on the greens. DeChambeau's victory was highlighted by a remarkable par save from a greenside bunker on the 72nd hole. McIlroy's collapse was described as heartbreaking and a significant missed opportunity in his quest to end his major championship drought.
