Bryson DeChambeau played some superb golf on day two at The Open Championship.
DeChambeau fired a second-round 66 to finish the day at seven-under par, just one stroke adrift of the lead heading into the weekend.
However, the 32-year-old American was under the spotlight after his round for all the wrong reasons.
Bryson DeChambeau had only one blemish on his scorecard on Friday at The Open.
He made a bogey on the par-four fifth hole after finding the heavy rough to the right of the fairway.
And now the LIV Golf star could face severe consequences after something he did before playing his second shot.
Bryson DeChambeau under investigation on Friday at The Open
It has been claimed that DeChambeau may have improved his lie on Friday at Birkdale.
The Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis explained what happened after DeChambeau left the scorer’s tent.
“Bryson DeChambeau was frustrated when he walked out of scoring and he said to his camp ‘they [being rules officials], said that I have improved my lie’,“ Lewis said.
“From what we understand it’s from the fifth hole.
“He said he is going to show them he did not. We believe he is going to go back to the fifth hole to show them where the possible incident or rules infraction took place.“
DeChambeau headed back out to the golf course with R&A rules officials after his round to explain what happen.
It appeared as though he stamped down on the grass behind his ball to allow easier access to the back of the golf ball.
No decision has been made yet, but if it doesn’t work in his favor, he will be absolutely devastated.
Bryson DeChambeau played wonderfully well on day two at The Open, but if he is penalized two strokes, it would be a hammer blow to his chances of winning.
