From CBSsports.com…
Jon Rahm on Sunday captured his first career major championship in dramatic fashion, claiming the 2021 U.S. Open in a late flurry that saw him sink a pair of clutch putts over his final two holes. Rahm brought it home at Torrey Pines with a final-round 4-under 67, tying the low round of the week and finishing his run at Torrey Pines with a 6-under 278.
Rahm, the pre-tournament betting favorite who was also atop the oddsboard after 18 and 36 holes, played from behind all day Sunday, started Round 4 three strokes behind a trio of co-leaders. That changed on a dime at the finish line as Rahm went birdie-birdie on Nos. 17 and 18.
First was a 24-foot sweeping left-to-right putt on the par-4 17th that thrust him into a share of the lead with Louis Oosthuizen, one of the co-leaders through 54 holes.
