Jordan Spieth looks to defend his US Open title at Oakmont this week, having snatched glory in dramatic fashion at Chambers Bay last time around. The Masters champion claimed a one-shot victory to secure back-to-back major titles, following an action-packed final round with plenty of leaderboard twists and turns.A third-round 68 from Jason Day saw the future world No 1 head in to Sunday as part of a four-way tie for the lead, joining Dustin Johnson, Spieth and South Africas Branden Grace at the top of the leaderboard. Spieths US Open win Final round report from Chambers Bay Johnson made the early move with two birdies to reach the turn two clear of the chasing back, only to kick off his back nine with successive blemishes to rejoin Spieth and Grace on four under.Spieth and Grace posted gains at the 12th as Johnson lost ground with a blemish at the next, but the real drama was to follow over the closing stretch.Heres a recap of how an eventful final few holes unfolded in Washington, as it happened…02:26-5 Spieth (15), Grace (15); -3 Oosthuizen (16), Adam Scott (F), Johnson (14)Spieth gets up-and-down to coax in from four feet and make par at the 15th, as Grace also completes the par-five in regulation. Spieth and Grace were paired together for the final round Further along the course, Oosthuizen continues his remarkable run along the back nine by picking up a fifth straight gain at the short 16th, taking him within two of the lead.02:36-5 Spieth (15), Grace (15); -3 Oosthuizen (16), Scott (F), Johnson (14)Grace pushes his tee shot at the 16th a long way right and out of bounds towards the barriers near the railway track. After taking a drop, his third shot just about finds the dancefloor but leaves a huge uphill putt. A look back at the dramatic final few holes from the 2015 US Open. No such problems for Spieth, however, as he finds the fairway and lands his approach on to the green.02:40-6 Spieth (16); -3 Grace (16), Oosthuizen (17), Scott (F), Johnson (14)After watching Grace take three blows and run up a double-bogey six, Spieth brings huge cheers from the Chambers Bay crowd by draining a 28-foot birdie to suddenly find himself three clear. Spieth celebrates his birdie putt on the 16th green At the following hole, Oosthuizens birdie run grinds to a halt with a par at 17.02:47-6 Spieth (16); -4 Oosthuizen (F); -3 Smith (F), Grace (16), Scott (F), Johnson (15)An ugly tee shot from Spieth at 17 lands in the thick nasty-looking fescue, with the Masters champion having to play the ball off a ridge on to the edge of the green.Down at the last, Oosthuizen guides in a 10-footer to post a sixth gain in seven holes and close a back-nine 29 to set the clubhouse target at four under. Oosthuizen set the clubhouse target with a record-breaking back nine Smith hits a stunning second shot in to the par-five green to leave a tap-in eagle to get to three under, as Johnson finds the 15th green but misses his birdie chance.02:53-4 Oosthuizen (F), Spieth (17); -3 Smith (F), Grace (17), Scott (F), Johnson (16)Having been red-hot with the flat stick all year, Spieth throws the tournament wide open by three-putting from just off the 17th green and carding a double-bogey five.As Grace completes the penultimate hole in regulation, Johnson misses the chance to move back in to a tie for the lead by dragging wide a birdie opportunity from eight feet.03:00-4 Johnson (17), Spieth (17); -3 Smith (F), Grace (17), Scott (F) A birdie at 17 was DJs only gain along the back nine A stunning tee shot from Johnson stops no more than seven feet from the pin, with a birdie-two lifting the American in to a three-way tie for the lead.At the last, there are huge roars of Spieth, Spieth, Spieth as the world No 2 creams his second shot to within 15 feet of the par-five flag.03:07-5 Spieth (F); -4 Johnson (17), Oosthuizen (F); -3 Smith (F), Grace (F), Scott (F)No eagle for Spieth, as his putt lands a couple of inches short, but a tap-in birdie sets the new clubhouse target at five under.

Spieths eagle attempt at the last rolled just by the left edge 03:12-5 Spieth (F); -4 Johnson (17), Oosthuizen (F); -3 Smith (F), Grace (F), Scott (F)With Spieth watching on, Johnson follows a stunning drive down the heart of the 18th fairway by hitting a beauty of a five iron to less than 15 feet.That leaves Johnson an eagle putt for victory, or two putts for the birdie needed to take the tournament to a Monday play-off. 03:15-5 Spieth (F); -4 Johnson (17), Oosthuizen (F); -3 Smith (F), Grace (F), Scott (F)The 18th grandstand sits in total silence as Johnsons eagle putt for victory doesnt break as he hopes and runs down the left side of the cup.He leaves himself a three-footer for the birdie needed to bring him and Spieth back for a fifth day.03:18-5 Spieth (F); -4 Oosthuizen (F), Johnson (F); -3 Smith (F), Grace (F), Scott (F)Johnson misses from close range, three-putting for par to miss out on a play-off and hand Jordan Spieth a one-shot victory.

With just over 90 seconds remaining, down by nine in a game Toronto would go on to lose 121-113, Kyle Lowry - the Raptors most irreplaceable player - clutched his head, as he remained sprawled out on the court across from the teams bench. Scrambling for a loose ball moments earlier, Lowry took two inadvertent knees to the head from Suns 235-pound forward P.J. Tucker. Assisted by his teammates and the medical staff, the Raptors point guard walked gingerly to the bench where he was examined briefly during the timeout but would ultimately stay in the game. "Hes fine," Dwane Casey said after the game, but Lowrys assessment was a little less comforting. "I got kneed in the head, bad," he told reporters. "Ive got a headache right now. These (television) lights are killing me right now. But Im alright, though." Has he suffered a concussion before? Was he concerned that he may have suffered one that afternoon? Lowry balked at those questions. "No, Im tough," he said with a laugh, as if that could shield him from possible head injury. For those familiar with Lowry, one thing was for certain. He was not coming out of that game voluntarily. Sure enough, he shook it off and played the final 1:36, badly missing his next shot, a three coming out of the timeout. After a slow start, Lowry scored all but two of his team-high 28 points during the Raptors second half push. Ultimately he and his club could not overcome Phoenixs dynamic backcourt and devastating team speed. "Their speed and quickness was the biggest factor," Casey said after his team surrendered 121 points, most since they lost a Jan. 25 shootout to the Clippers. "Speed does that," he continued. "Speed kills. Thats the whole bottom line. We wont see a faster team than that the rest of the year. It caused a lot of breakdowns." With the tandem of Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe setting the tone for Phoenix, the Raptors were forced out of their comfort zone, playing at a tempo that suited the Suns high-octane attack. "Thats their type of game," Lowry admitted. "We dont want to have no type of game like that. We want to hold teams under 100, under 90, preferably." The Raptors, who had not lost a game by more than five points in over a month, were holding their previous nine opponents at home to 91.3 in regulation. For the first time over that stretch, they seemed to let their own frustration get the better of them. Usually a calm, cool and collected bunch, the Raptors got caught up arguing with the officials during a third quarter in which the Suns shot 23 free throws, including 10 from Bledsoe alone. The afternoon mercifully came to an end with reserve forward Steve Novak confronting a teammate on Torontos bench as Jonas Valanciunas played peacemaker and held him back. Novak would not say he was shouting at, or why and insisted, its a non-issue. Despite a bit of understandaable post-game tension in the teams locker room, there was an underlying feeling of calmness, stemming from their unflappable head coach.dddddddddddd "Its not a systemic problem," Casey insisted. "Its not a situation where (we should) panic. Its one game. We knew we werent going to go undefeated the rest of the way. That team right there, theyre fighting for their playoff lives like we are." Of course, that wasnt the case back in December when Toronto last visited the Suns. In the midst of a Western road trip, the Raptors dropped their fifth straight and fell six games below the .500 mark for the only time this season. It was an undeniable low point for the squad before their fortunes turned two days later, as Rudy Gay was traded. Even after Sundays loss, they are 31-16 since that game in Phoenix. In a couple losses to the Suns - the Western Conferences feel-good story - this season, the Raptors have been out-rebounded by 36, grabbing a season-low 26 on Sunday, allowing a total of 227 points. Missing Patterson Without Patrick Patterson, missing his fourth straight game with an elbow ligament sprain, the Raptors undermanned second unit was thoroughly outplayed Sunday. The Suns finished with a 59-11 advantage in bench scoring, led by the 28 points of Gerald Green - a starter until Bledsoe returned from injury - and the Morris twins, who Patterson likely would have guarded. "Once Patrick gets back we have offence coming off the bench, which is huge, everybody kind of gets back in their place," said Casey, who wasnt concerned about long-term ramifications of the benchs underwhelming performance. "Again, no time to panic. Weve showed that weve played against quality teams without Pat. Weve got to continue to do that." Patterson will be re-evaluated Monday and the team hopes to have him back in the lineup sometime this coming week. Johnson climbs franchise block list With his swat on Tucker midway through the first quarter, Amir Johnson passed Antonio Davis for third on the Raptors all-time block list. Johnson, who leads Toronto with 73 blocked shots this season, has recorded 406 since being acquired by the Raptors ahead of the 2009-10 campaign. He is now 9 blocks away from tying Vince Carter for second-most in franchise history. Chris Bosh is the Raptors all-time leader with 600. The Stat DeMar DeRozan, who scored 17, has been held under 20 points in consecutive games for the first time since Dec. 20-23. The Raptors all-star guard tallied 16 points on Friday in a challenging matchup against the Grizzlies Tayshaun Prince and Tony Allen before facing Tucker and the Suns Sunday. The Quote "Its just tough when you go out there playing hard and sometimes we dont get a call that were fighting or dying for, that we may need at a critical time," said DeRozan, who was whistled for a technical, along with Casey, after voicing his disapproval of a no-call on a drive to the basket in the third quarter. "Its definitely tough but its something w
