Brooks Koepka was not a household name on Saturday, but by Sunday night he jumped to golf’s upper stratosphere by winning the 117th U.S. Open at Erin Hills. The city is home to defending U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler and, of course, Tiger Woods. It looked as if it was going to be a two-man race between Koepka and Harman, the third round leader, after the first few holes. Koepka had birdied one and two and Harman had birdied three to leave them both at 13 under. Koepka, playing the group ahead of Harman, broke the tie with a 34-foot birdie putt on the par four eighth.
