When you win your first major championship, you celebrate in style. That’s exactly what Brooks Koepka and friends did after he claimed the U.S. Open Trophy on Sunday evening in Wisconsin.
Along with friends that included Dustin Johnson, Paulina Gretzky and his girlfriend Jena Sims, Koepka and crew mixed a few cocktails in the U.S. Open Trophy during a night out that also celebrated DJ’s 33rd birthday.

The celebration started soon after Koepka finished his media rounds and hopped on his private plane. Along with his caddie Ricky Elliott and his swing coach Claude Harmon III, Koepka started his celebration from 40,000 feet.

After getting his feet back on the ground, the party continued. Koepka’s girlfriend Jena Sims posted a photo to Instagram of a nice group hanging out around the pool.
While the party is sure to rage on for a few more days until Koepka has to start prepping for the Open Championship next month, two-time U.S. Open winner Curtis Strange shared some advice and some fond memories of his time with the trophy.
