Friday’s second round at The Open features a penalty for Bryson DeChambeau alongside record-tying performances by Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns. Both outlets report that DeChambeau receives a two-shot penalty after an allegation that he accidentally improved his lie. The ruling changes his standing in the tournament during the same round in which the leaders deliver standout scoring.
Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns take center stage for their major-championship mark. Yahoo Sports and The Independent both describe the pair shooting rounds of 62 at Birkdale, with the results tying the major championship record for a round. Their scores place them among the leaders and help drive the day’s momentum at the event.
While the sources differ slightly in phrasing—particularly around the incident’s description—the overall account is consistent: DeChambeau is penalized two strokes, and Herbert and Burns each card a 62 to match the existing major record.
