Bryson DeChambeau takes US Open trophy out in Nashville

Bryson DeChambeau was living it up in Nashville after he secured his second U.S. Open win on Sunday.

The 30-year-old champ casually carried his U.S. Open trophy through the street en route to Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop bar on Thursday afternoon, according to videos on social media.

DeChambeau was seen mingling and shaking hands behind a red rope before heading for a LIV Golf event before the league’s Nashville event kicks off at The Grove on Friday.

The Crushers GC captain dedicated his U.S. Open victory to those in attendance at the LIV Golf event, according to a video Jena Sims, the wife of fellow LIV Golf pro Brooks Koepka, posted on her Instagram Story.

“This one’s for you guys,” DeChambeau said while he waved his trophy in the air.

DeChambeau finished Sunday’s final round at a 1-over 71 for a 6-under total, defeating Rory McIlroy by one stroke as the Northern Irishman collapsed over the final four holes at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

He hit a 55-yard shot from the bunker on the 18th hole to seal the win, which earned him a $4.3 million payday.

Afterwards, DeChambeau stayed on the course for a while to sign autographs for fans.

During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday, DeChambeau explained how he celebrated the “whirlwind” victory.

“I’m a little wrecked, I can tell you that,” DeChambeau said, laughing. “But it was a lot of fun last night, and the fans were all part of that win. Throughout the whole week, they were cheering me on, pushing me, encouraging me, and giving me all of the stuff I needed to win. So I thought, what better moment for me to just go out there and show the fans all the respect they deserve for pushing me to win this title.”

DeChambeau celebrated his second U.S Open win with wine.

“I’m a big wine guy,” he said. “It was beautiful. Everybody drank out of it. I handed it around the office. It was a lot of fun. Everyone that was there, we celebrated accordingly and we had some champagne out of here too. We shot it around the room. It was fun.”
