Patrick Mahomes Sends Four-Word Message on J.J. Spaun
J.J. Spaun, who entered the final round one stroke behind 54‑hole leader Sam Burns, battled through a torrid start, bogeying five of his first six holes, before mounting a comeback for the ages. The 34‑year‑old Californian holed a nerveless 64‑foot birdie putt on the par‑5 18th to finish at 1‑under and secure his maiden major title by two strokes over Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre.
Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes II chimed in on J.J. Spaun’s stunning U.S. Open victory with a succinct four-word tweet: “Wow, what a putt!”
His reaction, posted mere moments after Spaun sank the championship–clinching birdie on the 72nd hole at Oakmont Country Club, captured the disbelief and admiration shared by fans and fellow athletes alike.
Following Mahomes’s lead, an outpouring of congratulations flooded Twitter.
“Holy…. That was INSANE. Congrats JJ!” Justin Thomas said.
"Take a bow @JJSpaun!!!! " Billy Horschel said.
"What a historic finish after a really bad luck start today. You showed real guts. Congratulations JJ Spaun, National Open Champion!" Tom Watson said.
"Dropped out of coverage to 65ft birdie putt and a US Open trophy. Unreal. Congrats to JJ!" Michael S. Kim said.
"WOW WHAT A PUTT!" Shane Bacon said.
"What an ending. JJ Spaun with an unreal finish. All Guts." Dan Katz said.
Spaun’s victory not only marks his first major championship, but it also earned him a $4.3 million winner’s cheque and a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team at Bethpage this September.
His resilience amid Oakmont’s punishing conditions and a mid‑round rain delay highlighted a career‑defining moment for the former Players Championship runner‑up.
