The 2013 U.S. Open came down to the wire, and Justin Rose will be paid a handsome $1.44 million for securing his first major championship victory Sunday.

Rose's victory ended what was an incredible tournament at Merion Golf Club. The course didn't seem to cooperate very much with the players' intentions, and the winner's one-over par score is only proof of that.

Rose entered Sunday's final round just two shots off the lead at one-over par, but wasted no time placing himself among the top leaders after shooting one-under through the front nine.

He followed that up with a birdie on holes 12 and 13, and avoided folding through the tough final few holes at Merion to par out the final two holes and put enough distance between himself and Phil Mickelson to ensure victory.



Fate seemed to be turning toward Lefty at the 10th hole, when he holed his second shot from the fairway to pick up an eagle and salvage what had been a round of missed opportunities. It seemed that his 23rd appearance at the U.S. Open was the charm for his ...
