Ahead of LIV Golf Nashville, Brooks Koepka, his wife Jena, and their son Crew attended an event alongside Bryson DeChambeau.

Of course, social media cameras were there and caught one of the cutest disses DeChambeau would get. He tried to give Crew a fist bump, but the baby did not care. Koepka and Jena laughed with DeChambeau as Crew gave him the cold shoulder.

“Like father, like son,” DeChambeau said in the video. Smash GC also captioned the video with the quote, “The only person to ignore Bryson DeChambeau this week… Crew Koepka.”

DeChambeau has been a hot commodity since he won on Sunday, but little Crew did not want any part of the reigning U.S. Open champion.

However, the dig felt playful and not serious at all. Everyone laughed and played it off like it was no big deal.

Koepka and DeChambeau have not always been friends, though. They were bitter rivals for a while. Various memes about the whole ordeal kept golf fans entertained for years. From the Koepka eye roll to people calling DeChambeau ‘Brooksy’—among so many other things, this feud was one for the ages.

But since joining LIV Golf, they have made up and become at least acquaintances. Kopeka, who also has two U.S. Open wins, congratulated DeChambeau on Sunday for his big victory at Pinehurst No. 2.

They are the two LIV Golf players to have won major championships since leaving the PGA Tour. Crew Koepka may not be a fan yet, but give DeChambeau some time.

Tiger Woods’ son Charlie qualifies for U.S. Junior Amateur tiger,woods,son,charlie,qualifies,for,u,s,junior,amateur,sbnation,com,golf,golf-pga-tour,golf-news

After helping his father, Tiger Woods, prep for the 124th U.S. Open, Charlie Woods now has another USGA Championship to get ready for. He has qualified for the 76th U.S. Junior Amateur, which Oakland Hills Country Club in Detroit, Michigan, will host in late July.

The 15-year-old Woods carded a 1-under 71 at the Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs, Florida, as 86 players vied for four qualifying spots. Woods bested them all, winning medalist honors with the only under-par score of the day.

He made three birdies over his final six holes—an impressive accomplishment on any stretch, let alone after he dropped three shots on the 11th and 12th holes combined.

But now he will have an opportunity to win a U.S. Junior Amateur title, something his father did three years in a row, from 1991 to 1993. Tiger won his first at Bay Hill in Orland and then triumphed at Wollaston Golf Club in Massachusetts before winning again at Waverley Country Club in Oregon in 1993. The now 15-time major champion went on to win three consecutive U.S. Amateur titles after that, meaning he won six straight USGA Championships—an accomplishment likely never to happen again.

Meanwhile, the younger Woods has had an impressive stretch over recent months. In November, he helped his high school team win the Florida High School Golf Championship. Then, a month later, he and his father tied for fifth at the PNC Championship. He recently tried to qualify for the U.S. Open but fell short. Yet, that did not set him back, as he rebounded with an exceptional performance in U.S. Junior Amateur qualifying.
