The Kick Off: Spieth wins the US Open

GOLF

Spieth won by just one shot on 5-under-par.

At 21, he's the youngest US Open champion since 1923, and is now half way to a calender Grand Slam ahead of the final two major championships at St. Andrews and Whistling Straits

World number 1 Rory Mc Ilory briefly threatened on the final day but ended tied for ninth alongside Shane Lowry on level par.

Lowry had a final round 71 while Mc Ilory hit 66.
