However, the crowd at Shinnecock Hills have received criticism for rooting against Wyndham Clark in the final round.
Many fans were cheering every time the 32-year-old missed a putt or missed the green with his approach shot.
While that behaviour was questionable, Rose had only positive things to say about the support he received on Long Island.

Even though Justin Rose is English—and a European Ryder Cup legend—he’s one of the most popular players in the USA.
The 45-year-old is still a world-class golfer, but many also appreciate his classy character in both victory and defeat.
Having just missed out on a top-10 finish, Rose praised the spectators at Shinnecock Hills on social media.
He could not quite believe that so many people were supporting him when the US Open is obviously not his national open.
In addition to his comments about the fans, Rose reflected on his performance this week and his hopes of winning another major.
“Just a place shy of third straight top 10 in majors this year. These events are amazing,” Rose said on Instagram.
“They test every part of your game. And you have to confront every emotion that you feel. But that’s why we do it!
“Winning is always the aim. Majors are the goal. I’ll be there close enough to still believe it can happen again soon.
“Thanks for the unbelievable support from the fans in what is their national open. Very grateful.”
Alongside Adam Scott, Rose is one of the greatest golfers of his generation and continues to defy Father Time in his 40s.
Hopefully, Rose can perform well in The Open Championship next month and win just the second major of his career.
