Webb Simpson Wins The U.S. Open!

Nothing beats watching a golfer sink that final putt to win a major championship. But a close second is watching a guy in just his second U.S. Open sitting in the locker room with his wife, as a former U.S. Open champion misses a 24-footer that would have forced a playoff.

But while Simpson was the leader in the clubhouse, he needed 2010 champ Graeme McDowell missed to miss his putt.
