The American was handed a two-shot penalty late on Friday night.

He was one of only three players in the final 12 groups to shoot under par on a chaotic final day when Royal Birkdale finally showed its teeth.

The Masters champion holed a 20-footer on the second to get to three under, still seven behind leader Sam Burns.

Last week’s Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club was the second-best attended in the tournament’s history.
