  "account": "Shaun Norris was leading the Nexo Championship by two strokes heading into the final round at DP World Tour’s event. Entering the back nine, he faced a penalty on the fifth hole after kicking a divot from under his feet while setting up for his second shot. This action was deemed to have improved his stance, violating Rule 8.1 which prohibits players from doing anything that affects their stroke. As a result, Norris was assessed a two-stroke penalty. Despite leading overnight after making an albatross in the second round, Norris fell to 7 under par, two shots behind the pace.",
