Rose wins US Open

Justin Rose won the US Open at Merion Golf Club on Sunday.
The 32-year-old Englishman shot a closing 70 for a one-over total of 281 and a two-stroke win over Phil Mickelson, who had a 74, and Jason Day of Australia, who carded a 71.
Rose was the first Englishman to win the US Open since Tony Jacklin 43 years ago and the first to win a major since Nick Faldo did so 17 years ago at the Masters.
