American Webb Simpson won his maiden major title at the 2012 US Open at Olympic on Sunday night.

2010 US Open champion Graeme McDowell and 2003 champion Jim Furyk had shared the lead heading into day four at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, California.

But 26-year-old Simpson saw off McDowell and Michael Thompson of the USA, winning by one shot in foggy conditions.

Simpson climbs to fifth in the world rankings and becomes the 15th different major winner in a row.

"I've never felt nerves like I felt today," he said afterwards.

"I had to hit my legs because I couldn't feel them.

"I probably prayed more the last three holes than I ever did in my life."

Final leaderboard
+1 W Simpson (US)
+2 G McDowell (NI), M Thompson (US)
+3 D Toms (US), P Harrington (Ire), J Peterson (US), J Dufner (US), J Furyk (US)
+4 E Els (SA)
