Scottie Scheffler has urged golf's governing bodies to consider tougher enforcement of the rules following the controversy surrounding Bryson DeChambeau at The Open, while insisting his Ryder Cup team-mate should not have his integrity questioned.DeChambeau became one of the biggest talking points of the championship after being handed a two-shot penalty late on Friday, hours after completing a superb second-round 66 at Royal Birkdale.The American had initially finished the day just one stroke off the lead before officials ruled he had accidentally improved the area of his intended swing by flattening long grass near his ball.The punishment dramatically altered the leaderboard, leaving DeChambeau three shots behind halfway leader Lucas Herbert and triggering widespread debate across the golfing world.
