Two 62s Tie Major Record at British Open | Fayetteville News

Two golfers tied the major championship scoring record with a stunning 62 at the British Open—Lucas Herbert, who missed a putt on the final hole, and Sam Burns, who didn’t realize he’d broken history until after his bunker birdie. This marks the third time multiple players have matched this score in the same major, with Royal Birkdale hosting three of the seven 62s ever recorded. While Herbert felt the sting of a near-miss, Burns celebrated his focus under pressure. The calm conditions Friday morning set the stage for these historic rounds, reminding us how razor-thin margins define elite golf—and how rarely a 62 leads to a tournament win.
