Oakmont's notorious putting surfaces did not quite carry the US Open fear factor but many of the players took them out of the equation.

A memorable week in Pennsylvania saw Dustin Johnson claim the US Open title and the year's second major but there was plenty to shout about for some of the players who saw their iron and wedge play rewarded.

Lee Westwood and Japan's Yusaku Miyazoto take the credit for each pulling off a pair of eagles from half down the fairway.

Westwood's title hopes may have faded on the final day but on day one, he holed brilliantly on four to move into a share of the lead

Lee Westwood produced a moment of magic on the 5th hole - his second of the week
