Graeme McDowell produced a gutsy final round of 74 at Pebble Beach in 2010, finishing one clear of Frenchman Gregory Havret after a collapse from 54-hole leader Dustin Johnson
American Rickie Barnes held the second- and third-round lead at Bethpage Black in 2009, but Lucas Glover took the spoils as the weather-affected event spilled over into Monday
Tiger Woods holed a 20-footer on the 72nd green at Torrey Pines in 2008 to force a play-off with Rocco Mediate. Despite suffering with a serious knee injury, Woods defeated Mediate on the first hole of sudden death after the pair completed the 18 play-off holes in 71 strokes
At Oakmont, the site of this year's US Open, in 2007, Argentinian Angel Cabrera set the clubhouse lead on five-over-par and watched as Jim Furyk and Tiger Woods were unable to birdie the 72nd hole and match his total
At Winged Foot in 2006, both Phil Mickelson and Colin Montgomerie made double-bogeys at the 72nd hole to finish one behind champion Geoff Ogilvy
