Bryson DeChambeau Breaks Silence About Penalty at Open

In the end, Bryson DeChambeau took the Open Championship high road — or at least what's left of it.

DeChambeau's status for the final two rounds at Royal Birkdale was in legitimate jeopardy after he was issued a two-stroke penalty following the second round. There was speculation that he might withdraw, seemingly out of protest. However, not long after finishing a range session that went until 10:30 p.m. local time, DeChambeau confirmed in a statement he will play.
