Niemann’s Penalty Sets New U.S. Open Standard
Description
Joaquin Niemann’s U.S. Open round just got a whole lot tougher — not because of his golf game, but because he became the first player to get a two-stroke penalty under the new conduct rules for throwing a club. The club flew 50 yards, no video caught it, and Niemann admitted he didn’t know the penalty applied. This isn’t about LIV Golf — the rules apply equally to everyone. The U.S. Open’s stricter enforcement, backed by the majors and PGA Tour, sets a new precedent: misbehavior now carries real consequences. Niemann, who also famously scored an 11 on a hole earlier, heads back out for round three Saturday — hoping to bounce back without another penalty.
