Ogilvy wins US Open
0 Comments | AFP, June, 2006
MAMARONECK, United States (AFP) — Geoff Ogilvy won the 2006 US Open, as Phil Mickelson's bid for a third straight major golf title exploded on the back nine at Winged Foot.
Ogilvy won a war of attrition to become just the second Australian, after David Graham in 1981, to win the US open crown.
He did it with a final round 72 for a five-over-par total of 285.
He was already in the clubhouse when Mickelson arrived at 18 leading the tournament by one.
The reigning US PGA and Masters champion took a double bogey to fall into a tie for second on 286 with Scotland's Colin Montgomerie and 2003 US Open champion Jim Furyk.
Mickelson finished with a 74, Montgomerie 71 and Furyk 70.
