[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] "The first non-American to win both the US Amateur and the US Open."

World No. 18 Matt Fitzpatrick (England) added a 2-under par on the final day of the 122nd US Open, the third major of the PGA Tour, held on the 20th (Korean time) at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, USA (par 70, 7,264 yards), securing a one-stroke victory with a total score of 6-under 274. This marks his first PGA Tour win and his seventh overall on the DP World Tour (European Tour). The winner's prize money is $3.15 million (40.8 billion KRW).

Fitzpatrick has a special connection to this course, having won the US Amateur Championship here in 2013. 'Number 1' Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris (both USA) tied for second place at 5-under 275, with Zalatoris marking his third runner-up finish in a major, following the Masters in April last year and the PGA Championship last month. Defending champion Jon Rahm (Spain) finished tied for 12th at 1-over 281.
