Tears swelled up immediately for DeChambeau, who hadn’t expected the surprise at all. “Oh my god,” the golfer exclaimed as he saw his parents on the call. His parents, father Jon and mother Jan, seemed over the moon with their son’s achievement.
“Congrats, yay!” his mom yelled, later adding to her son, “Love you, we are so proud.” On the other hand, Jon had a typical father-like appreciation for his son. “Great job,” he said with a smile.
