Matt Fitzpatrick has won his first major championship - and first PGA Tour title - with an incredible victory at the US Open at Brookline, also the scene of his US Amateur triumph in 2013.
Fitzpatrick, 27, carded a final-round 68 to finish 6-under par and one shot clear of playing partner Will Zalatoris and World No.1 Scottie Scheffler.
The Englishman now joins the great Jack Nicklaus as the only other player to win the US Open and US Amateur on the same golf course. Nicklaus achieved the feat when winning his second US Amateur in 1961 and his third of four US Open titles in 1972 at Pebble Beach.
Fitzpatrick also becomes just the fourth Englishman to win the US Open in the last 100 years, joining Cyril Walker (1924), Tony Jacklin (1970, Hazeltine) and Justin Rose (2013, Merion).
After making a great birdie to begin his round, Rory McIlroy has bogeyed the 3rd hole at The Country Club in Brookline.
McIlroy is back to square one now as he failed to find the cup with his lengthy par putt.
He is now back to three shots behind Will Zalatoris, Matt Fitzpatrick and Scottie Scheffler...
Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick have teed off in the final round of the US Open, sharing the lead on 4-under alongside new co-leader Scottie Scheffler.

Both Zalatoris and Fitzpatrick are looking for their first win on the PGA Tour and their first major title...
What an amazing start from the World No.1! Scottie Scheffler birdies the 2nd hole to reach 4-under-par alongside Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick.
Scheffler dialled in his tee shot on the par-3 2nd hole to 13 feet and he calmly rolled it in to share the lead.
He is looking for his second major title and fifth PGA Tour win of the season...

Scottie Scheffler received an awful break in the middle of the 1st fairway, but the World No.1 still made birdie!
He found the fairway with his drive, but his ball rolled into a divot hole and he had a hideous lie.
The 25-year-old hit his approach to six feet with a bit of backspin and holed the birdie putt!
Scheffler is now one shot behind on 3-under, with leaders Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick set to tee off in about five minutes...
Could it be his day in Boston? Rory McIlroy keeps the dream alive with an opening birdie on the first hole!
After a stellar drive, McIlroy arrowed his approach to 25 feet and he rolled in his putt for the perfect start.
He is now just two shots behind on 2-under...
Rory McIlroy and Sam Burns are underway for the final time at the 2022 US Open in Boston!
After a third-round score of 73, McIlroy begins the final round on 1-under and three shots behind Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick.
The 33-year-old held it together on Saturday and he is looking for his first major win in eight years...
Adam Scott may be too far back to win his second major title, but the putter is hot in the final round in Brookline.
The popular Aussie rolled in a huge 24-footer on the par-4 10th hole to reach 3-over for the championship.
What score is too far behind for someone to make a comeback in the final round of the US Open?
All Irish eyes will be on Rory McIlroy today, but let's not forget about Seamus Power who has just birdied the 1st hole to move into contention on level par.
Here's how the leaderboard looks:
-4 M Fitzpatrick, W Zalatoris
-3 J Rahm
-2 S Scheffler, K Bradley, A Hadwin
-1 R McIlroy, S Burns, J Dahmen
Par N Hardy
Davis Riley drains a 30-footer for birdie at the first to move to 1-over par.
It's been a superb debut season on the PGA Tour for Riley, especially of late with five straight top-15 finishes. He also finished second to Sam Burns at the Valspar Championship earlier in the season.
Riley is making his US Open debut this week.
Patrick Cantlay starts birdie-birdie to progress to 1-over par.
The FedEx Cup champ is now five shots back.
Too late? Perhaps. But he's made the first big move.
Italy's Guido Migliozzi might have been out of form of late but he's turning things around in the final round at the US Open.
Migliozzi has just buried an eagle putt at 8 to move to 4-under par for the round and to 2-over par for the tournament.
He's now up into the top 20.
Grayson Murray is losing the plot out here.
After hurling his putter on 7, he's now snapped his iron on 10.

It's not all bogeys, doubles and club snaps out there.
Little-known American Chris Gotterup is 3-under par thru 8 holes today and he's up to 4-over par for the tournament.
Brooks is 3-over par thru 3 and down at 8-over par.
There will be no US Open hat-trick for him this week.
Grayson Murray just launched his putter over the back of the green after making a quadruple-bogey eight on the 7th.

Quite unbelievable. "Enjoy the fine, Grayson," said Nick Dougherty in the Sky Sports Golf commentary box.
Bryson DeChambeau is 3-over par thru 4 holes and down at 11-over for the tournament to give you some idea how tough the scoring could be today.
Here's a look at when the leading groups tee off tonight (UK time):
1901 Nick Hardy (Par), Joel Dahmen (-1)

Welcome to GolfMagic's LIVE commentary of the final round of the US Open from The Country Club at Brookline. It's set to be an incredible last day of action with some of the world's best players all in the mix for the third major of the season.
Matt Fitzpatrick and Will Zalatoris share the 54-hole lead on 4-under par after a late double bogey from defending champion Jon Rahm on the final hole last night.
Rahm is still right there though just one shot off the pace, as too is World No.1 Scottie Scheffler who is only two shots back alongside Keegan Bradley and Adam Hadwin.
And then there is Rory McIlroy, a man going in search of back-to-back wins on the PGA Tour and more importantly a first major title in eight years. McIlroy starts the final round three shots behind on 1-under par alongside in-form Sam Burns and Joel Dahmen.
The leading groups tee off from 7pm UK time.
