What this weekend at @TheOpen really highlights isn't Rule 8.1a ... it's the growing divide in golf. The @PGATOUR & media establishment seem preoccupied with deciding who gets invited into their country club. YouTube golf doesn't ask permission, it has simply invited millions to enjoy the game. One side guards the gate while the other opens the game to everyone. It has a distinctly bourgeoisie-proletariat feel ... institutions deciding who belongs, while the broader golfing public gravitates toward the people making the game more accessible and entertaining. Most fans don't want a war. They don't want to pick Team PGA, Team LIV, or Team YouTube. They just love the game of golf. (Side note: we get it PGA ... you're still trying to make up to Rory after doing him wrong in June '23.)

Don't count out the 2014 @TheOpen champion just yet 👀 📺 NBC

@chambleebrandel Translated: “I sure hope Rory wins.”

Sam Burns has had 5 54 Hole Leads in his career and converted one for a win. He has been 2nd-5th 17 times in his career through 54 Holes and improved his position just twice on Sunday. He has underperformed when leading or near the lead throughout his career. The fact that Royal Birkdale offers very little in the way of penalties for mistakes may make this day easier for him, but it’s an ideal scenario and day for a chaser.

@barstoolsports Rory toeing the company (PGA) line … how did that workout for him last time? (For reference … June 2023 agreement with PIF)

“I'm not particularly fond of him. I think a lot of it's performative. I think a lot of it's for attention.” Rory dropping bombs on Bryson

@SkySportsGolf @Sir_NickFaldo "He wants to be the center of attention ..." ........ no, I think he just wants those two strokes back.

"He wants to be the centre of attention!" 👀 Sir Nick Faldo and Paul McGinley share their thoughts on the Bryson DeChambeau controversy 🗣️

@bigdon61 @GolfChannel @chambleebrandel I’d focus on grammatically correct sentences first, Donny.

@trading__doc @GolfChannel @chambleebrandel Yeah I see what your getting at. You're comparing an axe injury with a paper cut! 🤣

"It is really hard to stomach the silliness that we've seen here from Bryson." (1:22) @chambleebrandel chimes in on Bryson DeChambeau not accepting the officials' interpretation for the 2-shot penalty right away

@Daniel_Rapaport Dan - is this the same thing? Shorter grass but sure does look like Rory walks in the swing path prior to his shot? Thoughts?

The answer is never, ever to take your ball and go home.

@RandA Hey R&A ... did Rory walk in the swing path of his ball in 2019 at Royal Portrush? Asking for a chap.

Bryson DeChambeau has been assessed a two-stroke penalty under Rule 8.1 on the 5th hole, meaning his score for round two is a 68 and he is five-under heading into the weekend.

@GolfDigest 2019 Royal Portrush ... can someone help me determine if Rory walked behind his ball in the path of the swing?

Bryson DeChambeau was brought back out to the fifth hole with rules officials to discuss whether he improved his lie.

@ForePlayPod Royal Portrush 2019 ... did he walk behind his ball in the path of the swing? Asking for a friend. #pgatour #bryson #britishopen

OFFICIAL: Bryson DeChambeau has received a 2-shot penalty for improving his lie on the 5th hole. Thoughts on the ruling?

@RandA Check out Rory's 3rd shot on hole 4 at Royal Troon in 2024. Did he walk behind his ball in the fescue? Was a 2-stroke penalty enforced then? #pgatour #britishopen

@GolfChannel So hole #4 at Royal Troon. Rory's 3rd shot in the rough ... from two diff angles, sure does look like he walks right behind his ball in the fescue. And yet ... no 2-stroke penalty. Hmm. #bryson @brysondech @PGATOUR #britishopen

@GrantHorvatGolf Sure … if he was the ball.

Would y’all watch a match against Brandel Chamblee?

I see your friendship to @tedcruz is more important than your commitment to the truth. I'm afraid you'll never go against him ... it's almost like an abused pet that keeps coming back to his master. I feel sorry for you. You've got a strong voice. Too bad you're just the dummy to the Neo-con ventriloquists.

Tucker’s sad deconstruction was always going to lead him to eventually unmasking himself regarding Charlie’s murder. If Israel is truly guilty of all Tucker keeps accuses it, why hasn’t Israel killed Tucker? Why does Israel allow him to keep exposing it?

@ChiefIlliniVic I was this years old when I realized Anthony Rizzo was Chief Illiniwek.

🔮🔮 Andrej Stojakovic AND John Blackwell

@wischlist I’ve gotta think there is still some unrealized potential in Tomi. Maybe continue working with Fletch, put on some muscle, get a little more physical inside. I can see him averaging close to a double-double next season if he puts in the work. 🤞

Dream Starting 5 for the 2026-27 Illini: Wagler Blackwell Stojakovic Mirkovic T. Ivisic It’s a dream, but I don’t think it’s just a fantasy.
