American golf superstar Bryson DeChambeau says he is now 'fired up' for the weekend after earlier casting doubt over his participation in the Open following a two-shot penalty for a rules violation.
The two-time major winner thought he was just a shot off the lead on seven under par after shooting a 66 at Royal Birkdale on Friday, and looked poised to be the main challenger to Australian halfway leader, Lucas Herbert.
But the 32-year-old was whisked away by rules officials after his round to the scene of what they felt had been a rules infringement earlier at the fifth hole.
