ERIN (Wisconsin): The winds of change were blowing at the US Open on Sunday as Brooks Koepka sailed to a four-stroke victory at Erin Hills, making it the seventh consecutive major that has crowned a first-time winner.

Koepka’s winning total of 16-under equals the lowest score to par for a US Open, matching Rory McIlroy’s victory at Congressional in 2011 on a par-71 layout.

“It hasn’t sunk in, obviously, yet, and probably won’t for a few days,” said Koepka.
