U.S. Open Classic Finishes: 2013

Phil Mickelson was poised to finally shake his Sunday U.S. Open woes. Could he hold off a fierce group of golf's best, that included Jason Day, Justin Rose, Hunter Mahan, and more?

While so many US Opens are remembered for Mickelson defeats, that final round from Rose on this course is well worth the trophy.

[@txsurf87]

Justin Rose is one of the most thoughtful and respectful sportsman out there. Always a class act.

[@ericknopik2852]

If Phil had won this championship, there would have been a plaque installed on the 10th hole where he holed out that wedge shot from 76 yards for eagle. But alas, the Hogan plaque on 18 is still the only one Merion. On another note, I’d love to see the US Open return to Merion. What a fantastic course, truly one of the best in the world.

[@rodsmith8118]

Even if Phil had won this championship I doubt they would have put a plaque in the rough.

[@stephenjsullivanIV]

A little birdie tweeted to me that the US Open will return to Merion in 2030 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bobby Jones' Grand Slam.

[@patrickdumass7611]

There is a plaque beside the 11th green where Jones won the 1930 Amateur and completed the Grand Slam.

[@themuscovyducks]

Really cool that there is something different than a flagstick. It would be cool to see the US Open with unique stick toppers at each venue.

[@ashishkacholia1013]

What’s player, what a swing, what a lovely speech at the end....you are the man, Justin!!

[@themuscovyducks]

He's always been a class act.

[@wildernessuk]

Always worth listening to is Rosy

[@P_Sandhu]

No commentator in any sport would mention the impact of pressure like Johnny Miller did.

Hunter Mahan has never recovered from the choke job at the Ryder cup

[@indanekwaffles7074]

thank you. finally a voice speaks to this subject and speaks the truth.

[@MM-qi5mk]

USGA PLEASE PLEASE POST THE FINISH OF 07@OAKMONT. Thank you

[@TheLocalLt]

Phil gave this away multiple times on both the front and back 9. Then, once he was trailing, that birdie putt at 16 was his only realistic chance to catch back up, and in typical Phil fashion it caught the lip and missed. This was an amazing course set-up at Merion, this is what a US Open is supposed to be about, the supreme test of driving accuracy and pure nerves in the game, with narrow fairways, thick rough, and fast greens surrounded by cabbage and sand.

[@BurtonRdForever]

This is a quality track!! Looks like a British course. The way golf should be played. A supreme test. Stay safe mate👍

[@tylerholloran2242]

I agree they have ruined the us open in 2014 2015 and 2017 with setups

[@TheLocalLt]

One of the last times Hunter Mahan contended in any event. So sad what happened with his career

[@rodsmith8118]

Hunter Mahan's last win on the PGA Tour was 14 months after this at The Barclays.

[@pdub7562]

[@joeblowmha]

Let's go Phil!!!

[@hullcityafc72]

Phil's won 5 majors and he could have won 10. Would you change the way he plays? I wouldn't! The fans love him because he gets you excited about the game. Not many manage that - Palmer, Ballesteros, Norman, Daly, Tiger..

[@RealJackHQ]

I agree. Phil should stay as Phil The Thrill.

The crowd is louder than the announcer, strange audio.

[@austi16]

DONT SHOW THE WINNER IN THE THUMBNAIL it pretty much ruins the whole thing show the 2 contenders like you do on some of them

[@rodsmith8118]

You're seriously complaining about a spoiler for a championship winner nearly seven years later?

[@austi16]

Rod Smith well ya if you never seen it it’s like watching it in real time. When you watch an old movie you never seen does it explain the entire thing on the case? No so stfu

[@rodsmith8118]

@@austi16 an image of the winner isn't giving away the details of how it played out. There is a DVD for the championship called "A Rose Blooms at Merion 2013 US Open". There are many times over the years since the championship that it could have been spoiled for you. Unless you just recently got into golf it's amazing that you didn't know.

[@rodsmith8118]

@TheMrLandon I understand that, but literally two days ago during the final round broadcast of the Charles Schwab Challenge when Justin Rose was in contention they mentioned he's a U.S. Open champion. If the thumbnail showed Rose and Mickelson it's very likely even people who recently got into golf would know who won.

[@cartershipman9081]

@@MM-qi5mk You look up any event Dufner won or came in like top 5 and there's hardly anything. At least for the PGA you'd think there'd be some good stuff but nothing. The people love him the most and the golf governing bodies hate him the most,

These uploads are great and much appreciated, but could you avoid putting the winner with the trophy in the thumbnail - some of these tournaments i forget who won, and would enjoy them a lot more if i was in suspense...
