This year’s U.S. Open once again reminded us why tournament golf is so special. Englishman Justin Rose won his first ever major and did so in exciting fashion, fighting off a strong challenge from Phil Mickelson to eventually take home the trophy.

Bubba Watson has always been an exciting, unpredictable and most of all, popular champion.

In the final round, Watson faced an impossible shot from the pines, only to hook it onto the green in what will be remembered as one of the greatest shots of all time.
