Multiple reports say American golfer Bryson DeChambeau asked for Donald Trump’s help following a rules controversy at The Open at Royal Birkdale. Sources describe DeChambeau as frustrated after he was issued a two-shot penalty late on Friday night, a decision that dropped him from second place and left him two shots off the lead. According to reporting referenced by several outlets, DeChambeau requested to speak to Trump during lengthy discussions with officials from the R&A about the penalty and his case. One report attributes the claim to American journalist Geoff Shackelford, who says DeChambeau made the request while discussions were ongoing. Other outlets also frame the allegation as DeChambeau attempting to involve the US president in the penalty debate. The coverage does not present confirmation from the governing bodies or from DeChambeau himself within the shared excerpts, but it consistently links the alleged request to the timing and fallout of the two-shot ruling late Friday. The story remains focused on the claim that DeChambeau wanted Trump to intervene as part of the dispute over the penalty.
