Three Just Stop Oil protesters disrupt The Open golf championships

Just Stop Oil protesters have disrupted The Open golf championships with a smoke flare and orange powder at the 17th hole.

The group tweeted: “Three Just Stop Oil Supporters have disrupted The British Open – they demand that the UK government halts all new oil and gas projects.”

One of the players appeared to help security remove the protesters after the incident, which happened around 12.20pm.

It follows other action by the group in London today.
