Will Zalatoris reacts after missing a putt on the 18th hole during the final round of the U.S. Open golf tournament at The Country Club, Sunday, June 19, 2022, in Brookline, Mass.The runner-up at a major championship. Standing on the podium glassy-eyed, unpacking the highs and lows of four rounds of grueling golf while a trophy gets handed out to someone else on the 18th green. Reaffirming his belief that, sooner or later, he’d be the one celebrating after the final putt drops.
Now a three-time runner-up at major championships, Zalatoris finished one stroke behind Matthew Fitzpatrick at the U.S. Open on Sunday at The Country Club. He tied for second alongside fellow Dallas resident Scottie Scheffler. the world’s top-ranked golfer and reigning Masters champion, at 5-under 275.
Zalatoris, who co-led the tournament through 54 holes alongside Fitzpatrick, had a chance to force a playoff on the 18th green. His 14-foot putt for birdie missed the hole by mere inches. Zalatoris dropped into a squatting position, flipped his club over his back and dropped his face into his forearms as his shot at a second-straight major playoff trickled left of the hole.Despite a down week driving the ball , Zalatoris kept himself in contention with clutch putting and approach shots.
“Matt’s shot on 18 is going to be shown probably for the rest of U.S. Open history,” Zalatoris said. “Because that — I walked by it, and I thought that going for it was going to be ballsy — but the fact that he pulled it off and even had a birdie look was just incredible.”
