Summary
Two golfers shattered major championship history on Friday at The Open Championship, both shooting record-tying eight-under-par 62s—Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns. Herbert nearly pulled off a solo 61 but missed a short putt on the final hole, leaving him with a tie for the lowest score in major history. Just minutes later, Burns, who barely made the cut, delivered a stunning finish with three straight birdies to match Herbert’s score. Herbert now leads at 132, two shots ahead of Jackson Suber and Cameron Young, with Burns one back. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are chasing, but the weather and pressure could shift everything. The claret jug’s next owner? Still anyone’s guess. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
