Jim Furyk held off all challengers and some severe weather to win the 2021 U.S. Senior Open on Sunday in Omaha, Neb.

Furyk took a four-shot lead into the final round after shooting a third-round 66, despite several delays and complications due to severe weather in the area. He carded a 1-over 71 Sunday to finish 7-under 273 and wrap things up at Omaha Country Club.

His main challengers were Canadian Mike Weir and Retief Goosen of South Africa, each of whom finished 4 under in a tie for second.

When Weir eagled on the sixth hole, Furyk might have been feeling the Canadian closing, but subsequent bogeys on Nos. 8 and 10 gave Furyk some needed space.

It wasn’t a perfect round for Furyk, who bogeyed and double-bogeyed on two of his first three holes. But he rallied with birdies on six, 13 and 16 to wrap up the championship.

Furyk might have had a little history on his side. Eighteen years after winning the U.S. Open for the only major victory of his career, he used strong rounds on Friday (64) and Saturday (66) — during the peak of the inclement weather — to push himself to the title.

He became the eighth player to win both the U.S. Open and U.S. Senior Open in his career, joining a list that includes Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Lee Trevino.

Weir started the day seven shots back, but he pulled within three on multiple occasions, shooting a field-best-tying 67 on Sunday.

Goosen had birdies on two of his first six holes to help himself finish with a 69 on the day.

Several Americans finished in the top 10. Kevin Sutherland finished tied for fifth (1 under), Fred Couples landed at No. 7 (even), and Bob Estes, Jerry Kelly and Wes Short Jr. finished tied for eighth (1 over).

Other top-10 finishers included Australian Rod Pampling alone in fourth (3 under), German Bernhard Langer tied for fifth (1 under) and Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez tied for eighth (1 over).
