There had been drama throughout on Sunday and, following short missed putts at the 16th and 18th from McIlroy, DeChambeau capitalised in a huge way, with the LIV Golfer hitting a stunning bunker shot from 55 yards and then holing a 4ft par putt at the last to pick up a second US Open trophy in an epic final day.
