Bryson DeChambeau had a bonkers ending to his second round of the British Open on Friday. First, he rolled in a birdie putt on the 18th hole that put him in second place heading into the weekend. Then, he headed to the scorer’s table and was told he would be getting a two-shot penalty for improving his lie hours before on the fifth hole.
What followed was a scene that we had never witnessed before at a major championship as he and a few rules officials rode out to the fifth hole to go over what he did and didn’t do on his second shot that led to the penalty. They stood in the long rough just right of the green for a while and DeChambeau could be seen arguing his case while raising his arms in a mix of anger and disbelief.
