Americans Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas have both found success on and against the British Isles in the recent past.

Spieth won his last major at Royal Birkdale in England, claiming The Open by three strokes over Matt Kuchar in 2017. Thomas, meanwhile, helped steer the United States to a Ryder Cup victory in ’21.

It seemed appropriate, then, that the two friends would stop by another individual sport’s flagship British event—Wimbledon—with The Open looming at Royal Liverpool in two weeks.

The duo dressed the part as well, fashionably watching Andrey Rublev defeat Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan 7–5, 6–3, 6–7 (8), 6–7 (5), 6–4 in the men’s round of 16.

Fans had more than their fair share of reactions to Spieth and Thomas's getup, as well as that of fellow American Rickie Fowler.

Spieth was a target for the wrinkles in his suit, with golf-related puns flying.

Some took aim at all three for their extremely similar looks.

However, a select few—ESPN reporter Ed Werder among them—offered tepid praise.
