Slow and steady wins the race, and that axiom held true Sunday when Jordan Spieth won the 2015 U.S. Open. Aside from a double bogey on 17, the 21-year-old was a model of consistency as he maneuvered his way across Chambers Bay.

Of course, Spieth needed a little bit of luck along the way. If Dustin Johnson had made his birdie putt on 18, then the narrative would have been completely different, and Spieth and Johnson would have been preparing for an 18-hole playoff Monday.

I think it will sink in a little quicker than the Masters did given that it's already happened but, boy, what a team effort. What a team effort the whole week. I didn't have my best stuff and we were able to get it done.

Some fans might frame it as Johnson losing the U.S. Open—or at least throwing away a chance at the playoff&m...
