Multiple reports say Bryson DeChambeau called for US President Donald Trump to intervene after a late penalty at The Open. According to the outlets that reference coverage of the incident, DeChambeau was given a two-shot penalty during discussions with officials connected to the rules after play on Friday night. He was reportedly unhappy with the decision and, during prolonged discussions with the R&A, asked to speak to Trump. One report, citing comments from American journalist Geoff Shackelford, says DeChambeau made the request while the situation was being reviewed. Sky Sports and Sky News also describe claims that DeChambeau attempted to involve Trump in the rules debate, framing it as an allegation reported across multiple media organisations. The penalty affected DeChambeau’s position in the tournament, with one account stating it dropped him from second place and left him two shots off the lead at the time. The reports focus on DeChambeau’s reaction and the request for presidential involvement, without presenting any confirmation that Trump participated in the process or that any change to the ruling followed.
