DeChambeau discusses penalty impact on his Open Championship chances

Bryson DeChambeau addressed the controversial two-shot penalty he received during the second round of The Open at Royal Birkdale. The penalty followed officials' review of footage, where they determined he had improved his backswing area by flattening grass on the fifth hole. This decision turned a bogey into a triple-bogey, dropping him from second to fifth place as he finished six strokes behind winner Ryan Fox. After initially considering withdrawal, DeChambeau continued into the weekend, concluding a recent streak of missed cuts in majors. He expressed regret over the missed opportunity but acknowledged his fight through the tournament.
