Golfer Bryson DeChambeau believes a two-shot penalty during last week’s Open Championship at Royal Birkdale cost him a chance at winning the tournament.
The penalty was assessed after DeChambeau flattened grass around his shot. The infraction prompted a strong reaction at the time, with the American golfer threatening to pull out of the tournament.
Reflecting on the incident, DeChambeau stated that without the two-stroke penalty, he would have been in prime contention to compete for the Claret Jug during the final holes of the major championship.
