DeChambeau Penalty Drops Him Out of Final Group | Spokane News

Bryson DeChambeau’s British Open dreams took a dramatic turn after a two-shot penalty late Friday night, dropping him out of contention after a solid second-round 66. The incident unfolded on the fifth hole, where video showed him stomping in tall grass near the fairway — a move officials deemed a rules violation for improving his lie by tamping down grass behind the ball. The penalty turned his bogey into a triple-bogey, pushing him three shots back and into a tie for fifth. Though frustrated, DeChambeau called the ruling motivating, and his agent confirmed he’ll play Saturday. Despite the setback, he made the cut — his first major cut of the year — adding another layer of drama to his already headline-grabbing tournament run.
