It’s a wrap. Rory McIlroy wins the U.S. Open, setting a fistful of Open scoring records with his 16-under par performance Sunday at Congressional Country Club.

But maybe the best part of it? The hug with his dad, Gerry, on Father’s Day, on the green at 18. And Graeme McDowell, another Northern Ireland player who was last year’s U.S. Open champion, was waiting for him, too.

While the kid was finishing off his putt, Gerry McIlroy said to McDowell: “How about that? Back-to-back for us.”
