There were no fails assessed from the weekend, but a couple of sides narrowly avoided the fate while two clubs dream runs continued.

Roy Keane has become synonymous with the phrase 'it's his job' and the Manchester United legend recited that line once again on Sunday.

The U.S. Open summary for Joaquin Niemann looks like this: 71 holes of solid golf, one really bad one, a thrown club, a two-shot penalty and the willpower to not spend too much time wondering about what might have been.If my grandmother had tires, she'd be a car, Niemann said Sunday, not wanting to speculate much after wrapping up a tournament sullied by an opening-round 11 on the par-4 sixth hole that featured two tee shots out of bounds and two penalty strokes for hurling his club in frustration.Niemann shot 4-under 66 in the final round to finish at 1-over 281. It doesn't take heavy math to imagine the possibilities had he not shot 7-over par on one hole. Maybe more importantly, his 281 put him in a tie for seventh, which means he'll get an invitation to next year's U.S. Open, at Pebble Beach, that goes to everyone in the top 10.Niemann's 66 paired with a 65 he shot in the second round, shortly after learning his 9 on No. 6 had been bumped up two shots for violating the code of conduct. It meant the only person to shoot a lower round than Niemann over four days at Shinnecock was Wyndham Clark, the winner, who opened the week with a 64. Of course, with that 11, Neimann also recorded the single worst one-hole score over the four rounds.A good experience, a good test for myself," Niemann said. "What happened on Thursday and coming back, I was pretty proud of myself.Niemann didn't try to deflect blame or suggest he didn't deserve the two-shot penalty for chucking the club after hitting the two errant tee shots, then being rejected when he asked for relief from what he thought might be fire ants.Play was called for the day shortly after that. Niemann completed his first round Friday morning, then learned about the penalty.I was not trying to offend anyone, he said. I was frustrated. I had my expectations, which are always super high. I was playing good golf. I knew it was going to be a tough week, a long week, a challenging week. ... Im not happy doing that. Im not proud about throwing a golf club.He did not want to delve into the debate about whether the USGA was too aggressive in applying the penalty. Even though the course was virtually empty at the time, he did, in fact, throw the club.He called his comeback story something to learn from.Asked what others might learn from his odyssey around Shinnecock Hills, he said: Everyone just stop throwing clubs. Just behave.___AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf
