DeChambeau penalty becomes lightning rod topic at The Open

July 18, 2026 04:36 PM
Max Homa was one of a few American players who came to the defense of Bryson DeChambeau after DeChambeau received a two-stroke penalty on Friday at the Open Championship. Scottie Scheffler said he had thoughts on the ruling but didn't want to share them during the middle of his tournament.
