- Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns each shot 62 in the second round of the 154th Open Championship, tying the record low score for a round at a major — a feat now accomplished by seven players.
- Lucas Herbert holds the 36-hole lead heading into the weekend at Royal Portrush.
- Bryson DeChambeau sat one stroke behind Herbert until a penalty knocked him three shots back, muddying the chase among the favorites.
- Cameron Young and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler remain lurking within striking distance of Herbert entering the weekend.
- Friday's round featured what the source calls an 'unreal' collection of low scoring on day two of the 154th Open.
Why it matters: Two players tying the all-time major record in the same round is a generational statistical event, and it leaves a crowded leaderboard — including world No. 1 Scheffler — within reach of Herbert, setting up a wide-open weekend chase rather than a two-horse race.
