Matt Fitzpatrick sealed his maiden Major title in stunning fashion at The Country Club, hitting 17 out of 18 greens in the final round and producing the bunker shot of his life on the 72nd hole to beat Will Zalatoris by a single stroke.

Fitzpatrick had fellow Yorkshireman Billy Foster on the bag, who finally won a Major after 40 years caddying. Emotional scenes followed with Foster, Fitzpatrick and family celebrating on the 18th green at Brookline, the scene of his 2013 US Amateur Championship triumph.

Here's how social media reacted to Fitzpatrick's US Open win. Needless to say, he was a popular champion...
