The 2022 United States Open Championship was the 122nd U.S. Open, the national open golf championship of the United States. It was a 72-hole stroke play tournament that was played between June 16–19 at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, a suburb west of Boston. It was the club's fourth U.S. Open (1913, 1963, 1988).

Matt Fitzpatrick won his first career major championship, finishing the tournament at six-under and a shot ahead of Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris. The win was also Fitzpatrick's first on the PGA Tour. He had previously won the U.S. Amateur at The Country Club in 2013, joining Jack Nicklaus at Pebble Beach as the only players to win the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Open at the same course. Fitzpatrick was the first Englishman to win the U.S. Open since Tony Jacklin in 1970.

Zalatoris, who a month earlier at lost in a playoff at the PGA Championship, had a 14-foot birdie putt on the 18th green that would have forced a playoff but missed, settling for his second consecutive runner-up finish in a major.

The field for the U.S. Open is made up of players who gain entry through qualifying events and those who are exempt from qualifying. The exemption criteria include provision for recent major champions, winners of major amateur events, and leading players in the world rankings.

As with all editions of the U.S. Open, eligibility to play is under the sole jursdiction of the United States Golf Association to the exclusion of the PGA Tour, Professional Golfers' Association of America or any other organization. In early June 2022, several exempt players resigned or were suspended from the PGA Tour in order to compete in the LIV Golf Invitational Series, which held its inaugural event in England one week prior to the U.S. Open. The USGA subsequently confirmed that those players would remain eligible to play in the U.S. Open.[3]

Final round

Sunday, June 19, 2022

Summary

Beginning the round tied for the lead with Will Zalatoris, Matt Fitzpatrick went two-under on his front-nine to take a one-shot advantage into the final nine holes at six-under. He then bogeyed the 10th hole and three-putted for another bogey at the 11th to fall back to four-under and a shot back. At the 13th hole, Fitzpatrick holed a 48-foot birdie putt to tie Zalatoris and re-took sole possession of the lead with a 19-footer at the 15th.[14]

Zalatoris bogeyed two of his first three holes on the round and fell back as many as four shots on the front-nine. He then made three birdies in a span of four holes making the turn to get back within one, and took the lead with an 18-foot birdie putt at the 11th. He bogeyed the 12th and the 15th after failing to get up-and-down from a greenside bunker to fall back to four-under before hitting his approach on the par-three 16th hole to six feet and making the putt to get within one of Fitzpatick.[15][16]

World No. 1 and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler made four birdies in his first six holes to take the lead. He then bogeyed the 10th and three-putted the 11th, his short par putt flipping out of the cup. Despite a birdie on the 17th, Scheffler finished at five-under, tied with Zalatoris and narrowly missing becoming only the sixth player to win both the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year.[17]
