friday we heard jordan spieth complaining about the 18th hole and how it was worth -- that was playing at a par 4 and how he hated that hole. i have a feeling he love its now. >> three letter word forget par. he made a four when he needed to make a four. >> let's go back and take a look at highlights of the 18th hole and where this tournament was won. jordan spieth. he needed that to get to got the birdie on 18. then dustin johnson, i guess we're going to him first. on the 18th hole. >> well beautiful 5-iron. quite honestly if it rolled up another foot more it probably would have rolled back another three, four feet on the toe of the little slope. a lot of speed coming off there.
7:31 pm
you want me to mark. he knew how quick the putt was. no matter how hard dustin hits this putt, it was always going to make it to the hole. >> this was the eagle attempt. runs it past the hole. has a chance to come back for birdie. >> you can't ever assume anything in this game. you have to continually keep your concentration and focus on what you have to do. i think he forced that putt. it was downhill the first put. put himself in a position where he missed three very short putts on the back nine. it's a game of mistakes. >> you're absolutely right. brad i'm sure you noticed, every one of putts he missed, it was a bit of a swiped stroke. >> but his face his path went to the left and his face stayed open and put a lot of putts he made should have missed. >> we're waiting for the trophy

7:51 pm
eagle. >> the lie on 18 was so important he had a little uphill lie to get more loft on it and that was from 287 yards, brilliant 3-wood. so now here's the opportunity for eagle. just kind of felt like this was going to end up in the bottom of the cup but it stays outside left. >> and again perfect speed all day long. never really put himself under too much stress. >> the tap in for the birdie and he had the one-shot lead. and then dustin johnson after a mashed drive, second shot here at 18. >> yeah absolutely right down the pipe. staring at it. knows he hit it solid. this is one shot joe that it actually had gone another foot further, he might have ended up another six feet closer. just gets on the toe of the ring and stops. normally rolls down four five
7:52 pm
feet and made the putt so much easier. >> the old cliche. anybody that grew up playing golf this putt to win the u.s. open. >> remember jason day, asking do you want me to putt out? >> that's about where jason day stood. dustin really did make a poor stroke here. all the putts he missed hit it off the toe with an open face. never got a clean roll on it. >> ends with a three-putt. ends with a par and he ends behind jordan spieth. who now has the opportunity, greg with the british open coming up at st. andrews to become the first to win the modern version of the grand slam. the youngest u.s. open champion since bob jones in '23. youngest to win two career majors in '22 and now the sixth
