Bryson DeChambeau downs WINE from US Open trophy with Donald Trump’s son, Eric – and gets a video message from the former President!
Bryson DeChambeau celebrated his US Open triumph with the Trump family at their Westchester National Golf Club on Monday evening.
The former president sent DeChambeau a congratulatory message after winning the US Open for the second time in his career this weekend – which is also his second career Major victory – before things seemed to get drunk.
“You have it all, you have the long ball and everything else,” Trump said in a short video shared on Instagram by his lawyer Alina Habba.
Trump can also be heard quoting someone in the clip who told him DeChambeau could be compared to golfing great Arnold Palmer.
DeChambeau was greeted on the golf course by Eric Trump and the celebrations quickly seemed to take a more boozy turn.
Bryson DeChambeau poured red wine into the US Open trophy – with help from Eric Trump
Trump held the trophy as DeChambeau poured red wine into it. As a crowd watches, Trump shouts, “That’s a full trophy, ladies and gentlemen.”
DeChambeau then picks up the trophy and tells the crowd of spectators “this is incredible” before taking several large sips of wine.
The 30-year-old DeChambeau won a whopping $4.3 million on Sunday for his victory – which will always be remembered for the way Rory McIlroy collapsed on the final holes.
McIlroy bogeyed three of the last five, with two putts from a combined range of eight feet, extending his two-shot lead and allowing DeChambeau to claim glory.
Trump also posted a congratulatory message to DeChambeau on Monday, writing, “Congratulations to Bryson DeChambeau on his incredible win at the United States Open!
‘He showed a toughness and inner strength, perfectly combined with his AMAZING golf talent, that can never be denied! Under immense pressure, he made some of the best shots ever made, especially his spectacular save in the sand on the 18th hole that gave him the victory.
‘Mr. 58’ has always been a WINNER and will continue to many more major championships. He really is a tough competitor, even an annoying one, but he’s also a great guy. The US couldn’t be better represented.
“Congratulations also to LIV Golf for their brilliance in signing Bryson and other of the best golfers in the world.
‘Hopefully Golf will soon come together as one, fully united, and that’s as it should be!’
