Runner-up: Jason Day
Rory McIlroy, 22, dominated wire-to-wire to set a new US Open scoring record of 268 (-16). McIlroy led by eight strokes entering the final round and closed with a 69. His performance erased memories of his Masters collapse two months earlier. Jason Day finished runner-up at -8. McIlroy's margin of victory of eight strokes was the largest since Ben Hogan in 1953.
