I’m not sure I’ve found the words yet.
If I’m being honest, last year wasn’t filled with many highs. There were a lot more questions than answers, a lot more frustration than celebration, and plenty of moments that tested my belief in myself. This game can be incredibly humbling. It doesn’t owe you anything, and sometimes the only thing you can do is keep showing up and trust that the work will eventually pay off.
That’s why this week means so much.
To the fans, thank you for making this championship what it is. New York crowds are passionate, honest, and demanding. Whether you were pulling for me or not, you created an atmosphere I’ll never forget and pushed all of us to compete at our best.
Thank you to the @USGA , the members of Shinnecock Hills, the volunteers, and every person behind the scenes who made this week so special. This place is everything a U.S. Open should be, and I’m incredibly honored to have my name connected to it forever.
To my team, family, friends, and sponsors, thank you for staying in my corner through the difficult stretches. Thank you for believing in me on the days when believing wasn’t easy.
This trophy means more because of the road it took to get here. The setbacks, the doubts, and the hard days all make this moment that much sweeter.
I’ll never forget this week, this place, and what it feels like to stand here as a two-time U.S. Open Champion.
Forever grateful. 🏆 #PLAYBIG

@KurtBenkert As a casual fan, and genially curious, where would the timeouts been a good call at the end of the half? Give your defense a breather when they’ve been in the field for 80% on the half?
@KurtBenkert Use to be dolphins fan like my dad and brother, wanted to be different and googled who won the first Super Bowl and the year I was born (1996). Found out it was the packers both times and was a cheese head ever since!
@MatthewBerryTMR I have worthy in WR spot (no flex 14 team league) and butker as my kicker… assuming the play is to drop butker and replace worthy with juju and just not play a kicker?
If you’re wondering what it’s like to be at this game right now… the Lambeau Field PA announcer just admonished the crowd for chanting “the Bears still suck” while the Packers are on offense against the Saints.
@bailsofhayyyyy The best part about this, I was explaining to my wife how I couldn’t wash my socks and have been wearing them during games since Christmas….
