It was after Friday's play in the major that DeChambeau was awarded two penalty strokes, after he trampled down the tall grass around his ball to make room for his backswing.

During a long discussion about the penalty with the organisers, DeChambeau reportedly hinted that he would call Donald Trump.

During the World Cup, Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino regarding a red card for US player Folarin Balogun, whose suspension was later lifted.

It is unclear whether DeChambeau called Trump, but R&A CEO Mark Darbon has not heard anything.

"I have not received a phone call from President Trump," Darbon told the BBC.

DeChambeau finished tied for 14th in the British Open.
