A remarkable second round in The Open saw Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns both equal the record for the lowest score in a major within minutes of each other.

A bogey at the last cost Australian Herbert his place in history with a new mark after a run of nine birdies but his 62 – recorded by four other men – propelled him into a two-shot lead at Royal Birkdale.
