Bryson DeChambeau clearly couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He stood in indignation with his arms behind his back as The Open Championship officials inspected the tall grass on the fifth hole Friday night at Royal Birkdale Golf Club.The officials were beyond the red-staked penalty area, where they eventually determined DeChambeau had trampled the rough, illegally improving the conditions for hitting his ball and resulting in a two-stroke penalty.The ruling came after DeChambeau had already finished his round and before he signed his scorecard. It moved him from what he thought was a second-place spot on the leaderboard, one stroke behind leader Lucas Herbert, to a tie for fifth entering Saturday.DeChambeau appeared to tell officials he would not play Saturday because of the series of events, but posted on X late Friday night, “This fires me up. Onto the weekend.”The incident now joins a long list of wild scenes surrounding a given penalty in major championship golf history. Here are some of the others:1958 Masters — Arnold Palmer plays second ballPalmer’s first of four Masters titles came shrouded in controversy. On the 12th hole of the final round, Palmer thought his tee shot on the famous par-3 had embedded behind the green. However, the on-site rules official denied Palmer the relief he believed he was entitled to, forcing him to play the ball as it lay rather than drop it within one club length.Palmer chopped at the plugged ball, moving it 18 inches, and eventually made a double bogey. Not accepting that result, he returned, took relief, played a second ball, and made par. It was allowed under Rule 3-3a at the time, which allowed a player to play a second ball if he was unsure of his rights. Tournament officials later ruled that Palmer had been entitled to relief, allowing the par to stand. That upset playing partner Ken Venturi, who argued that Palmer should have played both balls simultaneously.Palmer went on to secure his first Green Jacket by one stroke over Doug Ford and Fred Hawkins, finishing at 4-under.What is the Masters Champions Dinner?Tifo Sports1968 Masters — Roberto De Vicenzo signs incorrect scorecardDe Vicenzo must have been crushed when he signed his scorecard after the final round of the 1968 Masters. His card showed a 66, leaving him one stroke behind Bob Goalby, who posted a 65 and appeared set to claim the Green Jacket. If De Vicenzo had simply made up one stroke anywhere in the round, he would have forced a playoff.Except he already had. Which made it even more painful.De Vicenzo made a birdie on the 17th hole, but his playing partner, Tommy Aaron, mistakenly recorded it as a par. De Vicenzo failed to catch the error before signing his card.Under the Rules of Golf, once he signed for the incorrect score, it had to stand, eliminating any chance of a playoff.Goalby captured the only major championship of his career, and De Vicenzo never got his redemption at Augusta. He was famously heard saying, “What a stupid I am to be wrong here,” after the ruling became official.2010 PGA Championship — Dustin Johnson grounds his club?During the final round of the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, Johnson arrived at the 18th hole holding a one-shot lead over Bubba Watson and Martin Kaymer.His ball came to rest in a sandy area outside the gallery ropes. It didn’t appear to be a clearly defined bunker, so Johnson grounded his club before playing the shot. However, local rules at Whistling Straits designated every sandy area on the course as a bunker, including those that looked like trampled waste areas created by spectators.
