In an exciting and thrilling finale at the 123rd US Open, viewers were treated to a fantastic battle between Wyndham Clark and Rory McIlroy which resulted in Clark claiming his first Major scalp and biggest victory of his career!
Along with the duo, we also saw a great finish from Cameron Smith who, on the back nine, posted a three-under-par score that was significantly less than what others had been shooting during the final round.
Because of his play, the Australian placed as the best LIV golfer for the week finishing in fourth place. Speaking after his round, he stated: "I feel like the game has been trending in the right direction. This is kind of a big tick of the box, I think. Obviously a world-class field, world-class venue, and it got really tough on the weekend, as well. So the game is feeling really good, and just probably a little bit of confidence."
As Smith finished inside the top-5, Dustin Johnson claimed a top-10 spot as he fired a two-over-par final round for a three-under tournament total. Once again, just like the rest of his tournament, DJ struggled on the greens with his putter failing to get hot as he played the final round at LACC.
The next LIV player on the leaderboard was Brooks Koepka, who produced a one-under final round for a one-under tournament total. The American had stated on Friday that he wasn't a fan of the course, with Koepka one of the few players to voice their view of LACC's layout.
