There were some memorable moments in one of the most controversial major championships of all time.

This year's US Open promised drama and didn't disappoint.

Dissatisfied players, a 21-year-old winner and a heroic overcoming of vertigo were just some of the key plot points at Chambers Bay.

While players toiled to little avail on the debatable standard of the greens, Jordan Spieth won his second consecutive major before his 22nd birthday.

We talk about metaphorical collapses in sport, but Jason Day was physically laid low by vertigo in the second round. He finished in a respectable T9 finish with a 280 to Spieth's 275.

So, let's take a look at some of the best action over the course of the four days.

You couldn't have blamed Dustin Johnson for doing this to the course after he three-putted on the final hole. Instead this is a shot of him on the fairway before it all went wrong.
