McDowell holds nerve for first major

Graeme McDowell ended a 40-year European drought at the US Open and landed his first major on a dramatic final day at Pebble Beach.

The 30-year-old Northern Irishman was a one-shot winner over Gregory Havret of France after shooting a three-over-par 74 to finish at level par for the tournament and join Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tom Kite and Tiger Woods as US Open champions at the famous California links.
