Spain’s royal family and some of the country’s top sports figures were among those congratulating Jon Rahm on Monday for his victory at the U.S. Open.

Rahm became the first Spaniard to win the tournament on Sunday.

“Winning the US Open, being number 1 in world golf and dedicating it to Seve Ballesteros shows the greatness of Jon Rahm,” Spain’s Royal House said on Twitter on Monday. “Congratulations on your impressive triumph.”

Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué and former NBA player Pau Gasol were among the country’s sports figures celebrating Rahm’s victory.

Piqué called Rahm “a beast” and Gasol celebrated the fact that Rahm “made history” for Spain. Formula One driver Carlos Sainz, tennis player Garbiñe Muguruza and even former England soccer player Gary Lineker sent him messages on social media.

“Brilliant victory,” Lineker said. “To capture his first major after what happened to him the week before is absolutely sensational. Well played.”
