Henrik Stenson had a terrible fourth and final round of the US Open. World Number six finished tied for 27th place, after chasing Sweden’s first major on the men’s side.
The American Jordan Spieth won the tournament and his second straight major victory. World number two was closing round of 69 kinds, and thus a total of ten strokes better than the Swede and one stroke better than South African, Louis Oosthuizen and American Dustin Johnson, who shared second place, four strokes under par.
was five shots behind the lead
The first day looked good for Stenson, who was tied for first place and had the scent of victory. But after the second round and a shared twelfth place, he was never a real peak sensing, and after the third round was the Swedish jump five shots behind the lead.
The fourth and final round included the birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey. Stenson was noted for 74 kinds and received a total of 285 stroke during the four rounds at the heavily criticized US Open
The South African Gary Player, considered one of the best players ever, said that the track is “one of the worst he had ever seen”. He added that it was also the “nastiest golf tournament he has ever seen”.
– It is indeed a tragedy, says the now 79-year-old player.
Two straight majors
Even before the tournament, players were highly critical of the US Open course.
– It’s not golf, it’s a joke, said Ryan Palmer.
The player who mastered the difficult course best was the hit man Jordan Spieth. The young American’s victory means that he for the first time since Tiger Woods in 2002, started the season by winning the first two majors: the US Masters in April and now the US Open.
