Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns both post eight-under 62s in the second round of The 154th Open at Royal Birkdale, tying the lowest round in men’s major championship history. Multiple outlets note that the two record-equalling 62s occur within about 20 minutes of each other, creating a rare sequence of matching scores during the same round. Sky Sports and CBS Sports describe the day as historic, with the pair joining an exclusive “62 club” for men’s majors. Reports also emphasize that the players’ 62s come with markedly different backstories within their performances: Herbert’s 62 is presented as a firm, successful completion, while Burns’ round is covered alongside details of missed chances for an even lower “61-round.” The Athletic and other listings focus on the record aspect, stating that Herbert (an Australian) matches the major scoring benchmark with his round of 62, and that Burns (from the United States) matches it as well. Overall, the coverage converges on the same core result: two matching 62s that equal the men’s major record at Royal Birkdale in the Open’s second round.
