The biggest story coming out of The Open was not Ryan Fox lifting the Claret Jug. It was Bryson DeChambeau’s two-stroke penalty, the Rory McIlroy comments that followed, and the bigger question of whether golf’s rules make any sense in moments like this. Dan and the crew dig into the penalty itself, whether Bryson actually improved his lie, why Rory’s reaction added fuel to the fire, and how the whole tournament ended up becoming a Bryson story. They also get into Ryan Fox’s win, Cameron Young’s heartbreak, Kevin Kisner’s broadcast rise, and more.
