Bryson DeChambeau receives two‑stroke penalty at The Open Championship

Bryson DeChambeau was penalised two strokes after officials alleged he improved his lie in the tall grass before his second shot on the fifth hole during the second round of the 164th Open Championship. The R&A stated the action breached the rules.

The penalty pushed DeChambeau two shots behind his competitors, jeopardising his lead. The golfer is now contesting the ruling.
