British Open Comes to Life with 62s by Herbert and Burns. DeChambeau Penalized Two Shots
- On Friday, Australian golfer Lucas Herbert shot a record-equaling 28 on his opening nine holes at Royal Birkdale Golf Club, taking the outright lead at the British Open.
- The 30-year-old, who plays for the LIV Golf team Ripper, began his second round at even par, five shots off the pace before his remarkable surge.
- Herbert carded six birdies, including an 11-metre putt, to match the record for the lowest nine-hole score at The Open, previously set by Denis Durnian in 1983.
- Leading the field, Herbert moved two shots ahead of overnight leader Jackson Suber, while fellow American Bud Cauley sits at three under through 11 holes.
- Elsewhere, England's Matt Wallace posted a clubhouse lead at four under, while Masters champion Rory McIlroy struggled at two over, near the projected cut line.
