Bryson DeChambeau is still annoyed over the two-stroke penalty he got at the British Open, judging by how he handled one moment on Saturday.
DeChambeau hit his tee shot into the rough on No. 18 at Royal Birkdale during Saturday’s third round. As he went over to assess the situation, he very dramatically tiptoed around the ball, just so tournament officials could not accuse him of doing anything to try and improve his lie.

On one hand, DeChambeau seemingly wanted to have a bit of fun with the situation. On the other, he still seems annoyed with what happened on Friday. At that point, he threatened to quit the tournament over the ruling officials made against him, though that obviously did not come to pass.
While DeChambeau would likely say he was just having some fun with the situation, others will see this as a tired act. One of his fellow golfers might even describe it as performative, at least based on previous comments he made.
DeChambeau went on to bogey the hole, but still shot a one-under 69 to stay within four shots of leader Sam Burns heading into play Sunday.
