Report: PGA Tour pro fined at British Open for violating golf rules
According to reports, Kim Si-woo received one penalty during the first round of the 152nd British Open Championship at Royal Troon.
According to reports, PGA Tour golfer Si-woo Kim suffered one bruise during the first round of the Open. Kim broke the rules of golf by moving the ball while taking his second shot on the sixth fairway at Royal Troon.

England’s Dan Brown was an unexpected name at the top of the leader’s table after acquiring 66 pm. Justin Rose, who needed to qualify for the major, also started well, as did Justin Thomas.

Elsewhere, it was a disastrous start for Rory McIlroy, who fell to a seven-over 78 to leave him 12 strokes behind. McIlroy said it was one of the least enjoyable days he’s ever had on the golf course, given the way he hit the ball.
And 15-time major champion Tiger Woods is also struggling. Woods was worse than Makiroy, but he refused to be optimistic
