By Stephen Hennessey
Jon Rahm was already one of golf’s biggest stars before his impressive victory at the 2021 U.S. Open. And if social media is any indication, Rahm’s win is a popular one amongst tour pros and celebrities alike.
Every big-time tournament win earns nice words from others on social media. But it seems like an overwhelming chorus of positive reaction flooded social media after Rahm’s title at Torrey Pines.
Here were the best responses we saw:
On June 5, Jon Rahm is forced to withdraw from The Memorial with a six stroke lead heading into the final round due to Covid tracing. Loses out on winner’s prize $1.674 million.
Sixteen days later, Rahm is going to win the U.S Open and $2.25 million.

Both Jon Rahm and Louis Oosthuizen played beautifully. Jon then finished a U.S. Open like we haven’t seen anyone finish in almost 40 years—two birdies on the last two holes. Jon was terrific! @usopengolf pic.twitter.com/K9w3mVw4iw

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.

Jon Rahm’s putts on 17&18
AMAZING!!— Phil Mickelson (@PhilMickelson) June 20, 2021
This sticks out for me right now. When everyone was throwing blame around and cursing the situation, Rahm took the high road and focused on what he could control. Wins the #USOpen a few weeks later. Awesome. https://t.co/olT34tXYBn

Reason #183 why I’m such a big @JonRahmpga fan: last year when @HenniKoyack & I organized a call with golf industry friends to discuss racial injustice&diversity issues in golf, he not only attended but stayed on for the full 90 mins to show us he cared deeply about these issues
