Ryan Fox records a 62 to match the lowest round in a men’s major at the 2026 Open at Royal Birkdale. Multiple reports say Fox becomes the third player to shoot a 62 in the tournament, joining Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns, who have also matched the record. Fox’s 62 leaves him joint top of the leaderboard at the end of his third round.
Yahoo Sports adds detail on the round, saying Fox makes five birdies in seven holes starting from the second, posting an outward round of 29. He records a bogey at the 13th—his only blemish—before finishing with a 33 on the back nine to complete the 62. The reports collectively frame the result as another round of unusually low scoring during the 2026 Open, with several players equalling the men’s major lowest-round mark within a short span.
