Ryan Fox became the third man in 24 hours at Royal Birkdale to equal the lowest round in a men’s major with his 62 giving him a share of the lead on The Open’s third day.

The New Zealander went out in 29 after five birdies in seven holes from the second and despite carding his only bogey at the 13th his 33 saw him match the feats of his co-leader Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns.
