Irishman Graeme McDowell has spoken of his pride at his performance during the US Open.
The former champion finished second behind eventual winner Webb Simpson, who ended one-shot ahead of his nearest contender.
Despite coming so close to winning the title, 32-year-old McDowell believes that there are plenty of positives to take from the four-day event.
"The fact I came second and gave myself a chance of winning means I will take a huge number of positives from this week," said McDowell.
"I was nervous on the last two days but hit quality shots under pressure. I am very proud of how I played overall."
The next major event that McDowell is expected to take part in is the Irish Open.
