Bryson DeChambeau is under investigation by The Open organisers following a rules controversy during his second round at Royal Birkdale on Friday. The two-time US Open champion is accused of improving his lie at the fifth hole, which could result in a two-shot penalty.
Heated Exchange with Officials
After finishing his round, DeChambeau returned to the fifth hole and engaged in a heated discussion with rules officials. He was pictured attempting to demonstrate how he had played the shot to R&A officials. Subsequently, he was driven back to the recorders' office in a buggy.
Score Updated but No Official Confirmation
DeChambeau's score was updated to five-under par on The Open website, but there has been no official confirmation of the investigation's outcome. The incident has cast a shadow over his performance at the championship.
This is a developing story. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
