Records tumble at Erin Hills

There's no arguing that Ryder Cup player Brooks Koepka was the deserved winner of the 117th US Open at Erin Hills. The American carded a wonderful final round of 67 to win by four, having gone into Sunday one shot off the lead alongside playing partner Tommy Fleetwood.

Justin Thomas also found himself one shot back with 18 holes to play, something which looked rather unlikely before a historic 63 vaulted him up the leader board on 'moving day' whilst breaking the record for the lowest-ever US Open round in the process. But this wasn't the only record to fall last week, as Koepka's four-round total (16 under) equalled the US Open's lowest winning score which was previously set by Rory McIlroy back in 2011.

With much of the pre-tournament hype focusing on the penal rough lining the fairways, it probably doesn't come as a surprise to learn that Koepka hit 49 out of 56 fairways across the four days whilst also managing to find 62 out 72 greens in regulation - including 17 during his final round! Truly impressive golf.

The Irons That Won. 

As mentioned Brooks Koepka hit an incredible 62 out of 72 greens in regulation en route to claiming his first Major title. The irons trusted to hit those greens - Mizuno JPX900 Tour. 

Designed for workability, Koepka handled the tough windy conditions brilliantly during the final round to shoot an impressive 5 under par, 67 to blow the field away. These irons look incredible behind the ball and have to been seen and hit to be truly appreciated.
