Reigning U.S. Open champion Justin Rose finished off a rather successful defense at Pinehurst No. 2 in style.
After he made his birdie putt at the 18th hole, Rose did his best Payne Stewart impression with a rendition of the fist pump Stewart did after he saved par to win the 1999 U.S. Open over Phil Mickelson.
The birdie had Rose finish at 2 over par for the final round, 3 over par for the championship and tied for 12th place.
