The US Open, one of the most difficult and popular major tournaments, is just here with its 123rd edition, and fans are almost on the edge of their seats. One of the most significant pre-tournament rituals at a major tournament is golfers engaging in practice sessions to get to know the course a little better, and this is exactly the case at the iconic Los Angeles Country Club. Golfers such as Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and Rickie Fowler are practicing to tee it up the coming weekend, and they are accompanied by very special guests for their practice session.

A video went viral on social media of the three golfers with very special young cuties in their lives, and fans could not help but adore it. Although there was one adult in the video who stole the limelight from the younger ones, it was none other than Justin Thomas.

Wednesday was a full family affair day at Los Angeles Country Club. As the PGA pros, Spieth and Fowler, were practicing for the tournament’s first round, they were greeted by their toddlers on the 18th hole. Justin Thomas was also there, being a nice uncle to his friend’s kids.

The PGA Tour posted the video on their official Instagram page, and it was the ultimate wave of cuteness from all the US Open tension for the fans. Fowler’s and Spieth’s kids, Maya Fowler and Sammy Spieth, were seen at the 18th hole trying to hit the ball into the hole with their adorable shots. The kids were giggling as they had a good time with their fathers.

What caught everyone’s attention was that young Spieth was trying to lay his hands on Thomas’ putter. The two-time major champion was standing there with his putter behind him, and Sammy just came and stood behind him and tried to grab the putter. Thomas held the putter with his other hand, and just at that moment, Spieth came and gave his son his putter to play with.
