Lucas Herbert may be the toast of his fellow Australian players after roaring to the top of the British Open leaderboard -- but a few of them still entertain high hopes of their own going into the weekend at Royal Birkdale.
If Herbert was the day's sensation, major debutant Cameron John, Herbert's fellow Victorian, also enjoyed his own breakthrough day, shooting a 67 to ensure he'll start third-round moving day at three under, five off the lead and in the unaccustomed rarefied air of a top-20 major place.
And a day after his 46th birthday, Adam Scott was left warning everyone he is still not to be discounted at two-under for the championship after he shot a four-under 66 to fight his way back into the red.
