The Open Championship Friday live updates, leaderboard: Bryson DeChambeau making a charge up the leaderboard
Key Points:
- Bryson DeChambeau faces a potential two-stroke penalty or disqualification for stepping on grass during his round at the 5th hole, which would drop him to 5-under par.
- DeChambeau and rules officials are returning to the 5th hole to review the incident, marking a significant development in the tournament.
- Jon Rahm received a warning, not a penalty, for throwing his club in frustration after a bogey on the 15th hole, though the R&A's criteria for warnings versus penalties remain unclear.
- Spieth's poor performance, including a 9 on the 17th hole, has eliminated his chances of making the cut, disappointing given his previous win at Royal Birkdale.
- Bryson DeChambeau birdied the 17th hole to move to -6, tied for second and two strokes behind the leader, while Rahm is at -3, awaiting any potential penalty decisions.
