Jon Rahm receives warning after club throw at The Open Championship

Jon Rahm was issued an official warning for unsportsmanlike conduct during the second round of The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. After hitting an errant tee shot on the par-3 15th hole, Rahm threw his club in frustration. R&A officials notified him of the warning at the 17th tee, which will carry throughout the tournament. Despite the incident, he finished the round with a 3-under 67, placing him at 4-under, four shots behind the leader, Lucas Herbert. Rahm's outburst echoed a similar situation involving Joaquín Niemann at the previous U.S. Open, where a club throw resulted in a penalty. Rahm's performance keeps him in contention for the Claret Jug as competition continues.
