An Aussie player may not have walked away with a win at the US Open but they certainly impressed with a number of outstanding performances.

Adam Scott fired the lowest round of the final day, a bogey
free 6-under 64, saw him in the clubhouse lead early with a tournament total of
3-under 277.

"I feel like I had nothing to
lose today and everything to gain," said Scott.

"I knew I was playing well and
I just couldn’t quite put it all together the first three days. And I really
wanted to today. It was a big effort for me today."

"To be honest, it’s the kind of
round I needed to get things going for me this year, hopefully."

It was an interesting wait for the Australian who watched
the dramas unfold on Chambers Bay which threw up plenty of bogeys and birdie
opportunities.

"Even though it’s not playing
long and tough to finish and the wind is down, it’s tough to hole out down the
stretch of a Major," added Scott who has been in that position enough to know.

"So it will be fun the next
couple of hours for me to watch."

Scott’s hopes of claiming the
title or coming back for a Monday playoff were dashed when South African Louis
Oosthuizen finished at 4-under the card.

Jordan Spieth quickly made a
birdie on his last hole to be in the clubhouse at 5-under the card and win the
title when Dustin Johnson made a three putt par.

Also finishing on 3-under the
card was Cameron Smith, that number was enough to see him in a share of fourth
place which presents huge opportunities for the 21-year-old.

Not only will we see him back
at the US Open in 2016, he has also earned an invite to the 2016 Masters and Temporary
Tournament Membership on the PGA TOUR for the remainder of the 2014/2015
season.

"I can’t put it into words at
the moment, to be honest. No, it still hasn’t really sunk in, and I don’t know
what to say," said a shocked Smith immediately after his round.

"I just want to sort of sit in
the hotel room and let it all absorb."

"But to be up there in a Major
means that you can play with the big guys. So I’ll just keep doing what I’m
doing and hopefully it all works out."

The highlight of Smith’s day
came on the very last hole when he almost holed out for albatross on the 601
yards par-5 18^th, he tidied up for eagle.

"I wasn’t really expecting it,
to be honest. I just wanted to get it somewhere on the green and hopefully I
would have putted it. But to finish up and have a tap-in for eagle is a nice
way to end," added Smith who was the only player to shoot par-or-better in all
four rounds of the US Open.

"It was just a perfect 3-wood. It
went a lot closer than I thought it was going to go, but I’m happy with it."

"It’s pretty cool
coming up the last and everyone’s — I’ve never experienced anything near that
before. It was like spine tingling, it was crazy."

Heading into the final round Jason Day was Australia’s great
hope and his US Open journey already read like a Hollywood script.

Having collapsed on course during his last hole of the
second round due to benign positional vertigo, Day came out against the odds on
Saturday and ended the third round tied for the lead.

Standing on the first tee on Sunday it was clear to see the
Queenslander was still severely affected by the condition yet it didn’t show in
his game until the par-4 13^th hole where he made a double bogey which
put an end to his US Open chances.

"I was taken by the fact that so
many people supported me. I really made a lot of Jason Day fans out there this
week, even though it didn’t end up the way I wanted it to end up," said Day.

"I fought a good fight. And I
think everybody that watched the telecast knows that I never gave up. It was a
battle."

John Senden was the next best
of the Aussies, shooting in the red for the first time today. His final round 2-under
68 launched him up the leaderboard to be tied 14^th.

Also making a big leap up the
leaderboard was Geoff Ogilvy, his final round 3-under saw him finish tied 18^th
on 3-over 283.

Marcus Fraser rounded out the
Aussie contingent on 13-over the card and tied 64^th.
