The U.S. Open took a different spin this time around with a lot less drama and heartfelt stories. The appreciation of Martin Kaymer for his well-earned victory and the tear jerking story of Erik Compton's heroic second place triumph were great headliners for the classic game of golf. This article highlights the best moments of the U.S. Open.
"This is quite nice proof," he said, a gentle allusion to critics who saw his 2010 PGA Championship as one of those flukes that litter golf history, "to have two major championships under your belt and only 29 years old." Kaymer owned this Open the way Woods owned Pebble Beach's in 2000. Opening with back-to-back 65s will do that. Then Kaymer strolled through the weekend with 71 and Sunday's 69 for an eight-shot victory, nothing like Woods's 15-shot stampede at Pebble but matching McIlroy's margin, the fourth best in the Open's 114 years.
