Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson have carried their memorable duel at Chambers Bay all the way to St. Andrews.

Spieth won the U.S. Open for his second major title of the year when Johnson three-putted from 12 feet at the final hole.

Johnson insisted before the British Open that he was over that bitter disappointment. Clearly, he wasn't kidding, playing the first 12 holes on the Old Course at 6 under for a share of the lead with Spieth, Charl Schwartzel, Robert Streb and Retief Goosen.
