Bryson DeChambeau has been the talk of the town after winning the U.S. Open for the second time in Pinehurst No. 2. The 30-year-old was having a moment of his life as he carried the U.S. Open trophy wherever he went, including at LIV Golf Nashville.
There, everyone cheered for DeChambeau’s incredible victory, however, it failed to impress Brooks Koepka’s son, Crew Koepka. Thanks to his son, Koepka managed to get the last laugh and one-up DeChambeau at the LIV Golf Nashville party.
Did someone forget the memo on fist bump etiquette? A video posted on Koepka’s Instagram story shows DeChambeau expecting a fist bump from Crew, but he never received one in return.

Crew might have left DeChambeau hanging, but not his father, Brooks Koepka took to his Instagram account and made lighthearted jabs at the thirty-year-old, saying, “Crew doesn’t have to touch the trophy he’s already got two at home,” as the Floridian native has already won the U.S. Open twice that too consecutively!
On the other hand, DeChambeau jokingly noted that Crew Koepka’s ignorance was similar to his father and said, “Like father, like son,” owing to their long-lasting feud, which has now been settled.
“Like father, like son”😂

Over the years, Koepka’s run at the majors has been anything but ordinary. The LIV Golfer already has five majors in his trophy cabinet, the last of which came in the 2023 PGA Championship. But how has the LIV Pro performed at the past three championships? Let’s take a look.
Will 2024 be a major-less season for Brooks Koepka?
The 34-year-old was expected to showcase his major magic and win again in the 2024 season, starting with the 88th Masters. But Augusta National was not easy for Koepka to conquer. He struggled immensely at the Masters and carded his worst finish ever at Augusta, finishing at T45.

But soon after, Koepka tasted victory at the LIV Golf Singapore greens and was victorious for the fourth time on the breakaway circuit and for the first time, after Crew Koepka’s birth. After becoming the only player to win four times on LIV and gaining back his momentum, it was expected that at the then-upcoming major, Koepka would once again defend his title for the fourth Wanamaker trophy. However, the tides did not turn in his favor, and the 5-time major winner finished the PGA Championship at T26.
Though the first two majors were a disappointment, Koepka’s ordinary run did not stop there; unfortunately, it followed him even at Pinehurst No. 2. The run-off greens of Pinehurst No. 2 proved to take a toll on the 2-time U.S. Open winner and he finished once again T26 at the 124th U.S. Open. Koepka now has only one major championship, the Open, to prove his worth and display the kind of momentous play he has done at the majors five times before.
