US Open: Goosen redeems himself with play-off glory

South African Retief Goosen, guilty on Sunday night of what Johnny Miller called the worst three-putt in golf history, fully redeemed himself today to become the most unexpected winner of a major since Paul Lawrie.

Goosen won his United States Open play-off with American Mark Brooks by two strokes after the pair had been forced to spend another 24 hours in Tulsa because of his two-foot gaffe on the 72nd hole.
