Not since Bob Charles put his home country on the golfing map of the world in the 1960s has the New Zealand nation had cause to celebrate such a major championship success, as it did for the 2005 US open at Pinehurst No.2.
Michael Campbell, who spends most of his time in Brighton, England, secured a hard fought victory over two modern day greats, Tiger Woods and Retief Goosen in typically testing US Open conditions.
Defending champion Retief Goosen, who led by three strokes going into the final round, slumped to an unlikely 81, putting his dreams of a US Open treble temporarily on the back burner.
Meanwhile Woods' continual quest to catch and overhaul Jack Nicklaus' extraordinary record of eighteen majors was let down by too many missed putts on the back nine, leaving Campbell to cling on and claim victory with an even par final total.
