SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (Reuters) - American Brooks Koepka putted brilliantly to win the U.S. Open by one stroke at Shinnecock Hills on Sunday, becoming the first player in almost 30 years to successfully defend his title.

England's Tommy Fleetwood gave him a run for his money with a seven-under-par 63 that matched the lowest score in tournament history, but Koepka's closing 68 saw him finish top of the leaderboard on one-over 281.
