Video: Gary Woodland Celebrates 2019 US Open Win with His Dad on Father's Day

Gary Woodland took the 2019 U.S. Open title, and his parents were among the first to celebrate with him.

It was an especially nice Father's Day present for his dad, who embraced him with a big hug:

The broadcast also showed his parents watching along as Woodland nailed the final birdie on 18:

The win was by far the biggest moment in the career of the 35-year-old who turned pro in 2007.

Not only had Woodland never won a major before Sunday, but his effort at Pebble Beach was also only the third top-10 finish of his career at a major event.
