SOUTHPORT, England (AP) --- 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. Two groups later, Burns
capped off an astonishing birdie-birdie-birdie finish for the American by
holing out from a greenside bunker on the 18th for his 62 on the par-70 Royal
Birkdale links.
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.
