Golf star Jon Rahm shouts out OpTic Chicago after his US Open win Twitter: JonRahmPGA\/HeczGolf superstar Jon Rahm revealed that he warmed up for his 2021 US Open win by watching OpTic Chicago at the Stage 4 Major, shouting them out in his winner\u2019s press conference. Over the last few years, seeing athletes, musicians, and other celebrities start to mingle with esports stars has become pretty regular. Quite a few celebrities and athletes are invested into esports organizations, while others have started streaming games like Warzone and tweeting about esports events. Well, after he bagged a whopping $2,250,000 for winning the US Open, Spanish golfing superstar Jon Rahm gave a little nod to OpTic Chicago and the Call of Duty League. Rahm, who made a late charge on Sunday to pick up his first major win, was asked about what he did in the build-up to his winning round. To the surprise of many, that included watching the CDL Stage 4 Major. \u201cI did the same routine. For people that follow this, and Imma shock a few people, I woke up excited because I could watch a Call of Duty tournament, which is esports that was going on,\u201d Rahm said. \u201cA team that I follow, which is OpTic Chicago, had just played the night before, and I knew I could watch it, it\u2019s about an hour and a half, so I had a busy morning! I went downstairs, got my water and coffee, the chef was making breakfast and I was just watching my Call of Duty event, that\u2019s as simple as that.\u201d Timestamp of 11:22 The now number one ranked golfer added that it might have been \u201cshocking\u201d to some that he was watching Call of Duty before a major event, but he\u2019s all about it. As a result of the clip hitting social media, he\u2019s even been shouted out by Hecz, inviting him to meet the squad when he gets a chance. Even OpTic\u2019s Davis \u2018Hitch\u2019 Edwards was blown away by the shoutout. Congrats @JonRahmpga, and thank you, I got some friends you oughta meet. Let me know when you want to carry OpTic vs @goodgood_golf \u2014 OpTic HecZ (@H3CZ) June 21, 2021 While Sunday ended up being a good day for Rahm, as he secured his first golf major, it was less enjoyable for OpTic. They were bounced out by Dallas Empire in the losers\u2019 semi-finals, falling to a 3-1 defeat. Atlanta FaZe ultimately edged out the Empire in the Grand Finals by a 5-4 scoreline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
