Barbara and I send our heartfelt congratulations to Jon. I’m sure this major is just the first of many for him! We're both happy for him and his wife, Kelley! What a nice way for Jon to celebrate his first Father’s Day by winning the U.S. Open. Now, that is pretty special!

Jon has shown so much class over the last 2 weeks after his devastating withdrawal from the Memorial. It's great to see him turn that disappointment into the biggest victory of his career. It was also really nice to see Rahm pay great respect to @SeveBallesteros after his round. pic.twitter.com/oxcYnSTZFT

Rahm could kill an elephant with his fist pumps.

Incredible finish, remarkable champion. The stars aligned after Memorial and @JonRahmpga is a @usopengolf champ!!! Little Kepa… almost the star of the show!
— Anna Whiteley (@AnnaWhiteley) June 21, 2021
Jon freaking Rahm, man. The only thing more impressive than his play (those final 2 putts
) is his attitude & perspective. The moment of him hugging his wife, Kelley & brand new son Kepa is what I’ll remember from this Sunday. Unbelievable moments driven by unparalleled passion
— Amanda Balionis (@Amanda_Balionis) June 21, 2021
@JonRahmpga congrats man. Major champion
— Thomas Pieters (@Thomas_Pieters) June 21, 2021
Jon Rahm!
Trying to put it beyond any doubt!
Bravo! What a finish!
A smart calculated bunker play and then a virtuoso putt! #USOpen— Mark Immelman (@mark_immelman) June 20, 2021
That finish from @JonRahmpga was absolutely insane! #sick #filth #clutch

Listening to Jon Rahm is as impressive as watching him play.#USOpen Champion
— Martin Hall (@martinhallGC) June 21, 2021
Rahm proposed to his wife on that course, won his first ever major there and had his newborn baby in attendance on Father’s Day?
Man that’s awesome.
