Who needs a U.S. Open victory when you have Paulina Gretzky there by your side to comfort you when you lose?

The 26-year-old model ran over to fiancé Dustin Johnson's side after he lost by one stroke to Jordan Spieth, a 22-year-old golf star. At just three feet from the hole, Johnson missed a putt that would've entered him into a playoff.

After rushing over to him, Paulina gave him a quick kiss and handed him their 5-month-old son Tatum as they walked away as a family. 

Although golf is most definitely up there in terms of importance in his life, Johnson has said that now that he's a dad that's the only thing that really matters. He told People after his son entered the world, "From the first day he's born, your perspective on life completely changes."

He added, "Things that were important aren't important anymore. He's the only thing that's really important, and being there for him and being a role model for him.

"It kind of makes life a lot easier I think, just because there's just one thing that's kind of all you think about. It definitely simplifies stuff."

Paulina, who is the daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, has also gushed about her son and soon-to-be husband.

"It's just unbelievable," she told reporters in March, per ET Canada, after Johnson won the World Golf Cadillac Championships in Miami. "Dustin's the best dad, he's my best friend. He's been so supportive with me and we're just there for each other. I couldn't be happier for him."

She has shown off tiny Instagram, showing fans just how adorable her baby boy really is. Whether he's wearing adorable costumes or dressed in golf onesies, he's growing up to be a big kid, which shouldn't be a surprise since he's coming from a long line of athletes!

No pressure to become a sports star or anything, Tatum.
