There was a huge outpouring of love for newly-crowned U.S. Open Champion Matt Fitzpatrick and his caddie Billy Foster after Sunday's epic final round ended with the 27-year-old Englishman taking home his first Major Championship title.
Greats of the game, Ryder Cup team-mates and players from his beloved Sheffield United were among those congratulating Fitzpatrick after he won by one shot at The Country Club, Brookline.
Here are some of the best tweets following Fitzpatrick's victory.
