1. Youngest player to have both a U.S. Open title and a Masters title
2. 4th-youngest player at time of 2nd major championship win
3. Youngest U.S. Open winner since Bobby Jones in 1923
4. First player to birdie the 72nd hole of the U.S. Open and win by one shot since Bobby Jones in 1926
5. First player since 1941 to win his 2nd major in the major immediately following his first major win
