Winning the 2020 US Open Championship meant a lot to Bryson DeChambeau. It helped him fill the void of a major title in his career statistics. The championship also let him prove himself before the people who criticized him for bringing changes to his game and his body. In addition, he couldn’t help from getting emotional when he saw the two people that meant a lot in his life after winning the title.

“Oh my god!” That’s all the three words the ‘Mad Scientist’ of golf could utter before bursting into tears when he saw his parents on a big screen after winning his first major. His crew and the people around him had to call out his name for him to control his emotions. 

“Hey, mom and dad,” DeChambeau called his parents. “I did it,” he said as his parents expressed their joy for him winning the US Open through the video call. 

Bryson DeChambeau didn’t forget to mention his parents live on television during the US Open

DeChambeau had a 6-shot lead against the second-place golfer, Matthew Wolff, after finishing his round on Sunday. Hence, everyone was sure he would win the title since the middle of the round. And he also knew the 2020 US Open title would be his by then. “Hey, mom and dad, love you,” the confident DeChambeau said to the camera as he walked towards the 18th hole to finish the game and claim his title. 

Jon and Jan DeChambeau, his parents, couldn’t attend the 2020 US Open, like they missed a lot of his other wins, due to his father’s health issues, including diabetes, heart issues, kidney failure, etc. 

Notably, Jon DeChambeau passed away recently, and his 29-year-old son revealed it through a heart-whelming social media post. He also posted a couple of his old man’s pictures to reminisce about the good old days spent with him.
