This was setting up to be a wild final few holes at the U.S. Open. Lucas Glover took all the fun out of it.

The 29-year-old South Carolina native emerged from a three-way tie for first with Phil Mickelson and David Duval with a birdie on the 16th hole and parred the final two holes to win the U.S. Open championship.

Glover, who had won only one PGA Tour event, back in 2005, two-putted the final hole for a two-stroke victory. He carded a 3-over 73.

Tied for second place was Mickelson, Duval and Barnes, who entered the day as the co-leader with Glover.
