What Happened in the 2010 U.S. Open
Graeme McDowell became a first-time major winner with a grind-it-out final round of 74 at Pebble Beach. That final-round score was good enough to give McDowell a one-stroke victory over runner-up Gregory Havret, and for him to finish two in front of third-place Ernie Els, three ahead of fourth-place Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.McDowell was in second place as the final round began, three strokes behind 54-hole leader Dustin Johnson. But Johnson, who had several wins at Pebble Beach in is career including one earlier in 2010, quickly fell apart in the final round. Johnson had a triple-bogey on the second hole and a double-bogey on the third hole en route to a round of 82, and he finished tied for fifth place.
The big names chasing McDowell — Els, Woods and Mickelson — were in touch of the lead (and Els shared it at various points) through the final round, but couldn't make it happen down the stretch.
McDowell had one birdie in his closing round, on the fifth hole, and four bogeys after that. But everyone else was bogeying, too. Havret was one stroke off the lead for most of the closing stretch, but couldn't find that tying birdie he needed.
Tom Watson, 1982 U.S. Open champ, played in this major for the last time, tying for 29th place at age 60. British Open winner David Duval also made the cut in his final U.S. Open, tying for 70th.
