Ryan Fox Wins The Open Amid DeChambeau Penalty Drama

Ryan Fox held off a challenge to win the 155th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, securing his maiden major title.

The tournament was dominated by a controversial two-shot penalty assessed to Bryson DeChambeau, who was docked for appearing to trample grass behind his ball.

DeChambeau threatened to withdraw and even called Donald Trump to intervene in the rules dispute.

The penalty cost DeChambeau a significant amount in prize money and overshadowed Fox’s breakthrough victory.
