U.S. golfer Jordan Spieth was victorious in claiming the U.S. Open title on Sunday, at Chambers Bay, after his recent Masters win.

The BBC reported that the 21-year-old player bagged his second major title this year coming ahead of co-American Dustin Johnson and South African Louis Oosthuizen. Rory McIlroy, on the other hand, ended in 9th place.

The U.S. Open champion is reportedly aiming to become the first player to win all majors in one year aside from being the youngest player to claim the U.S. Open title since Bobby Jones in 1923.

"I'm in shock but I feel for Dustin. It's cool to be able to have two legs of the grand slam now, and to conquer golf's hardest test - the U.S. Open is conquering the hardest layout in all of golf. I didn't have my best ball-striking at all and really grinded over those four or five-footers - that was the difference," Spieth said.

Johnson, on the other hand, said that he gave all he can, but admitted that he still struggled.

"I did everything I was supposed to do. I hit the ball really well. I just really struggled getting it in the hole. I didn't think I was hitting bad putts, they just weren't going in," he added.

Other top players on the U.S. Open's leaderboard are Adam Scott, Cameron Smith, Branden Grace, Charl Schwartzel, Brandt Snedeker, Shane Lowry and Jason Day.

Asked about the success of the tournament, USGA executive director Mike Davis said that after careful assessment, the event had "overwhelming success" despite the drama, complaints and issues.

"Let's look at how the golf course performed, because at the end of it all that trumps everything. It's going to be what's best for Chambers Bay on a day-to-day basis," Davis added, as per The Seattle Times, noting that 156 of the best golfers in the world played in the area's golf course.

The Washington Post noted that the "massive hills and difficult terrain" in the area disable fans from following their favorite golfers.

"It has been a strange atmosphere because [fans] can't seem to get close and on some holes, there aren't any. I watched Phil Mickelson tee off at the first today, and then people won't see him until the second shot on the second hole, because you can't get down the first. From a fan's point of view, it must have been even a harder trek than for us players," veteran golfer Lee Westwood said.

But Pierce Country executive Pat McCarthy told The Seattle Times that majority of the players and the fans responded positively on the event.

"We want them back - sooner than later, from my point of view. I haven't really been getting many complaints," he added.
