Cameron Young and Robert MacIntyre both found themselves in contention at the US Open, but it was J.J. Spaun who came out on top.

Spaun made US Open history in round one at Oakmont, before going on to clinch his first major championship win.

The American battled it out with a handful of players in the final round, with a stunning putt on the 18th helping Spaun secure the trophy.

Both Young and MacIntyre, playing together on Sunday, were among those in contention before Spaun emerged victorious.

He topped the pile on one-under, with MacIntyre taking second and Young finishing T4 behind Viktor Hovland at the US Open.

Cameron Young refuses to answer question on Robert MacIntyre after US Open final round

Young had an animated discussion with USGA officials during his final round, with his frustrations seemingly carrying on into his post-round media duties.

Asked what he saw from MacIntyre’s round that was impressive, he said: “He came back really well. I don’t know, he’s a good golfer, and he got off to a bad start and finished really well.”

And when asked for something in his game that he thinks is particularly impressive, Young replied: “I don’t really feel like talking about it, to be honest.”

It was then noted that MacIntyre was “probably going to win”, to which Young responded: “Yeah, I just lost by two, so more concerned about that than about who’s going to win.”

Young was understandably frustrated after his final round of the US Open, not least because he didn’t get his hands on the trophy.

He was certainly in contention to win his first major championship, which would have also represented his first win on the PGA Tour.

But it wasn’t meant to be at Oakmont, with Spaun instead stealing the limelight for his second PGA Tour success.

Young does, however, deserve credit for taking on the media after his near miss, which cannot be said of a handful of other players this week and indeed from earlier in the season.

But there was also time for another icy response when asked how he keeps sharp during a rain delay, which disrupted Sunday’s action.

Clearly unimpressed, the American replied: “Just sit for an hour and hit a couple balls and go. It’s not rocket science.”
