"Just made a few adjustments to the trophy to correlate with this underwhelming story," he wrote.
Johnson had highlighted Campbell's lack of success before and after the tournament at Pinehurst, the US Open being the Wellingtonian's solitary PGA triumph.
Further to that, he damned the effort with faint praise, claiming Campbell won "via good play of his own and collapse by others".
There was no mention of the legendary Woods being the man trying to chase Campbell down.
Campbell got plenty of support from his Twitter followers, with one saying: "I'd rather be an underwhelmed US Open champion that just underwhelmed any day".
But another reckoned he did find it underwhelming "because I stood to win a considerable amount of money if (Retief) Goosen had won".
