Simpson charged up the leaderboard with a stretch of four birdies in five holes and went 4-under over the final 13. The 26-year old clinched the win with a par save from deep greenside rough on 18.[SOT/Webb Simpson/2012 U.S. Open Champion]("...")Jim Furyk bogeyed the par 5 16th, when he duck hooked his drive into some trees. That dropped him out of the lead he held all day. His 74 put him 2 back. Graeme McDowell and Michael Thompson tied for second a shot behind. Tiger Woods played the first six holes at six over par but came back to shoot 73, and finished 6 back.[SOT/Tiger Woods/(+7) Tied for 21st Place]("...")[SOT/Jim Militello/Associated Press]("So, there is a new U.S. Open champ crowned and it's not Tiger Woods. Despite holding a share of the lead heading into the weekend, the once dominating golfer fell by the wayside, pushing his winless drought in majors into a fifth year. He's stalled at 14 and holding, still four short of Jack Nicklaus' record for most major championship wins, a mark that Woods admittedly covets. He'll pick up the chase in the British Open next month. Covering the U.S. Open, Jim Militello, Associated Press, San Francisco.")(****END****)
