Environmental activists briefly interrupted play at the British Open on Friday by throwing an orange substance to the side of the 17th green at Royal Liverpool, prompting American player Billy Horschel to intervene.
Police and security guards quickly took action to keep the Just Stop Oil protesters from causing a bigger disruption during the second round. Play resumed not long after organizers cleaned the substance.
The protesters, all wearing white shirts with the words "Just Stop Oil," had entered from each side of the elevated green that sits with the Irish Sea in the background. One of them had a flare, police said. Local police said in a statement that two men and two women were detained "on suspicion of conspiracy to commit criminal damage and public nuisance."
