Justin Rose is one shot in the lead with 9 holes to play...

Mickelson pitches in for an eagle to take a one shot lead with 8 holes to play.

If there is a tie at the top by the end it will be an 18 hole play off tomorrow.
The closing 5 holes are the key, the most threatening to the hopes of every challenger.

Five holes to go and Rose is one shot ahead again.
It's still so close.

Definite possibility of a play off looming.
Its desperately tense. Holes 17 and 18 could create havoc .

Hope he wins it Rose. Deserves it.

He has done it .
He has only gone and bloody done it .
Well done young sir .

First Englishman to win a major since Nick Faldo at the US Masters in 1996. First Englishman to win the US Open for 43 years when Tony Jacklin was the champion.
Tremendous nerve to shoot a level par round under unbelievable pressure around a really tough course.
Where others around him folded he stayed remarkably composed.
A thoroughly well deserved triumph.

Only the seventh Englishman to have won this major. (we are claiming him even though he was born in South Africa)
And only the second player since the war. Tony Jacklin won it last in 1970.

Well done to the guy, it's been a long time coming

Rose has looked the most likely to breakthrough,he has steadily climbed up the rankings & won other big comps.Donald,Westwood & Poulter are all short of their best,but still not far away.
