Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns each matched the major championship scoring record of 62 on Friday in the British Open, with one celebration far different from the other. Herbert missed a 5-foot par putt on the tough 18th hole at Royal Birkdale that would have given the Australian the record alone.
Record-Breaking Rounds
Two groups later, Burns capped off an astonishing birdie-birdie-birdie finish when the American holed out from a greenside bunker for his 62 on the par-70 Royal Birkdale links. It was the first birdie of the day on the 18th hole.
The record was first set by Branden Grace in 2017, also at Royal Birkdale. It had been matched four times since then at two majors.
