It turns out Johnson watched Spieth outlast Dustin Johnson in a nail-biting finish.

Spieth once asserted that Johnson, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, and Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James are the best athletes in the world. Megatron took notice.

The world's second-ranked golfer captured the first two majors of the year, and Spieth could complete the Grand Slam with wins at the Open Championship and PGA Championship.
