It has certainly been a wild week for Michigan State golfer James Piot. Piot elevated himself into the levels of the professionals on the golf course after winning the U.S. Amateur Championship on Sunday, a win that will earn him entry into the Master’s, the US Open, and the Open Championship.

On Thursday, Piot got to go in front of a nice crowd at the Detroit Tigers game against the Los Angeles Angels and throw out the first pitch (not to harp on the game, but he couldn’t have done much worse than the bullpen did).

Take a look at the pictures below:

Michigan State golfer James Piot made history on Sunday when he won the 121st U.S. Amateur Championship. Of course, his fellow Spartans were there to celebrate after his win. In a touching moment, seemingly the entire MSU men’s golf team was there with Piot celebrating after his win.

Now that’s a real Spartan Dawg! On Sunday, Michigan State golfer James Piot won the 2021 U.S. Amateur Championship at the Oakmont Country Club in Bandon, Oregon. The victory, which was the No. 121 of it’s kind, will earn Piot an entry into the Master’s, US Open and Open Championship.

In dramatic fashion, Piot had to overcome a 3-stroke lead from North Carolina’s Austin Greaser to win the gold.
