    Bryson DeChambeau shows up in SMU student section with U.S. Open trophy, still a man of the people

    November 03, 2024

    Bryson DeChambeau is still not done parading around with his U.S. Open trophy. Nor should he be.

    On Saturday, the two-time major champion made a surprise appearance at Gerald J. Ford Stadium where No. 20-ranked SMU, DeChambeau's alma mater, played undefeated Pittsburgh in an enormous ACC clash. The Mustangs, a seven-point favorite, absolutely rolled the No. 18-ranked Panthers 48-25 to extend their win streak to six.

    In other words, the vibes were at an all-time high in the SMU student section, where DeChambeau appeared with the trophy early in the second quarter while the Ponies already had an 18-point lead:

    Oh yeah, they were never losing this game.

    Here's how DeChambeau made his entrance. Kingly:

    It's been said before, but there really must not be anything like returning to your college as a sports hero. Just an endless shower of adoration. Multiply that by 10 when you've got a major championship trophy in tow.
