Bryson DeChambeau has been handed a significant two-shot penalty during his second round at The Open after a contentious rules violation.

The American golfer, Bryson DeChambeau, faced a dramatic turn of events during his second round at The Open when officials imposed a two-stroke penalty.

The ruling stemmed from an incident on the course, which was deemed a breach of the rules by tournament officials. Details surrounding the specific infraction were not immediately clear, but the consequence was a substantial penalty affecting DeChambeau's score.

This controversial decision arrived during a critical phase of the competition, casting a shadow over DeChambeau's performance and adding a significant layer of drama to his Open Championship campaign.

💬 SideLine Take

Rules can be complex, but a penalty this late in a major championship always feels like it shifts the narrative rather than purely reflecting the game.
