Summary
Four-under 284 left Bryson DeChambeau tied for 14th, six shots behind winner Ryan Fox after a closing 72 at Royal Birkdale.
A triple-bogey 7 at the par-4 11th derailed his final round after he drove into deep grass, failed to find his ball near the green and had to play his fifth shot from 118 yards.
The finish capped a week dominated by the R&A's two-shot penalty for trampling fescue on the fifth hole in round two, cutting his score from 7 under to 5 under.
DeChambeau skipped a formal press conference for the fourth straight day, but told Golf Digest he gave "it my all" and could "hold my head high."
The 32-year-old heads next to LIV Golf U.K. at JCB, giving English fans an immediate encore after one of the Open's most unusual campaigns.
