Justin Rose — Getty ImagesRemember when Adam Scott won the Masters and this incredible photo was taken of him of his green jacket as rain was falling at Augusta National? Well Justin Rose has his own winning photo and it's the one you see above.

David Cannon of Getty Images snapped the shot of Rose reading all the newspaper clippings with his win, and it doesn't hurt that the paperweight he's using happens to be the U.S. Open trophy he won on Sunday at Merion.

A cool shot, a good dude and one I'm assuming will be framed at some point in the Rose household.

Getty ImagesWhile thoughts on the U.S. Open are still wrapping up, we are just a few weeks away from the third major championship of 2013.

The British Open kicks off on July 18, and goldodds.com has released the favorites for the Claret Jug. Tiger Woods, who just came off his worst finish at a major, leads everyone at 7-to-1, with Rory McIlroy coming in at 12-to-1 and the two major winners of 2013 both landing at 20-to-1.

It's pretty interesting that Tiger is such a high favorite considering how he just played at last week's U.S. Open. Woods' final score of 13-over par is his highest score ever at a major championship as as professional. On top of that, it has now been five years and counting since Woods last won a major so it's a pretty crazy number to give the man even if he has four PGA Tour wins this season.

The rest of the odds are after the jump, but give us your early favorite to win the one major held outside the United States.

ARDMORE, Pa. — At 46 years, three months and 24 days, Steve Stricker came into Sunday's action with a chance at becoming the oldest U.S. Open winner in the event's 113-year history.

But somewhere, Hale Irwin — the winner of the 1990 U.S. Open at Medinah at 45 years and 15 days — can rest easy. Stricker's bid to unseat him hit an early snag in the final round at Merion Golf Club as the Wisconsin resident carded a triple-bogey 8 on the par-5 second. He'd soldier through the disappointment to finish with a score of 76 and a tied for eighth finish with Luke Donald, his highest at the U.S. Open since placing fifth in both 1998 and 1999.

Still, the nightmare second hole will be a hard one to forget.

"It's just the nature of the game, I guess," Stricker said after the round. "It puts you in your place rather quickly at times."

ARDMORE, Pa. — One woman ducked under the rope and then she was followed by another.

They were halted by a Merion Golf Club official and told to go back to where they belonged.

The women agreed, but when they wheeled around, the looks on their faces said that, no, they probably didn't have to comply with the man's request. Their initial scamper had burst the dam on Sunday night and an entire wave of reinforcements were pushing them back onto the 18th fairway.

Who could blame them? If you pay the high ticket prices to get into the U.S. Open, you're not going to willingly miss the tournament's biggest moment. The eager golf fans rushed the ridge on the approach to the green, craning their to get a closer look at what might end up being one of the most famous shots in golf history.

Phil Mickelson, the perennial U.S. Open bridesmaid, was looking at a 30-yard wedge to sink a birdie and force a Monday playoff with Justin Rose.

Justin Rose is now a major championship winner, but you have to go all the way back to 1998 when we first got a glimpse of how talented he could be.

Rose, 17 at the time, was playing as an amateur at the British Open, and playing extremely well, heading into the final round in fifth place alone. Rose had his magical moment on the 72nd hole at Royal Birkdale, holing a shot for birdie from the rough to finish T-4, winning low amateur honors thanks to that Sunday 69.

The now 32-year-old turned pro the day after that performance, and now, 15 years later, he is a major champion.

• Justin Rose played one of those final rounds that only works at the U.S. Open, making five birdies and five bogeys to post a round of even-par 70 on a golf course that wasn't budging a bit. Rose's 1-over total was good enough for a two-shot victory and a first major championship win.

• We all knew it was Phil Mickelson's U.S. Open to lose heading into Sunday, and while he fought as hard as he could, it just wasn't enough, and a missed birdie putt on the 16th all but ended it for Phil. This is now his sixth runner-up finish at the U.S. Open, the most of any player in the history of the event.

• Tiger Woods left Merion with another disappointing major championship, finishing 13-over par, his highest total at the U.S. Open in his professional career. Tiger's feel was way off all week, missing short putts and hitting chips fat all over Merion, and we will have to wait until the British Open to see if Woods can add another major title to his résumé.

Any winning round is the round of the day,

Phil Mickelson, sentimental favorite and leader/co-leader every night of the U.S. Open, the guy who's somehow golf's everyman despite being a private-jet-flying multimillionaire, has once again fallen just short at the U.S. Open.

Justin Rose, an exceptional golfer whose time as a major winner has come, triumphed by two shots over Mickelson. Rose finished at +1 by playing smart golf, and even in the moments in which he had opportunities to fall short, controlled the damage. When he finished out with an unlikely par on 18, the toughest hole on the course, he dabbed at his eyes, the enormity of the moment finally catching up with him.

From there, it was just a matter of time. Mickelson hadn't even finished out the 17th when Rose tapped in his par putt on 18, so Rose had to watch as Mickelson tried to birdie either one of the two final holes to force a playoff.

He came so close, so very close ... but yet again,

Pro golfers! They're just like us, spraying shots all over the course! Rickie Fowler, who had an outside shot at the top of the leaderboard coming into Sunday, had difficulties early and couldn't close the gap. What he could do was distribute a souvenir to a fan at the 17th grandstand, sending his tee shot deep into the crowd.

He then attempted to take a bite out of his own wedge, because that's exactly what Merion makes you want to do.
