The second round of the 2026 British Open saw a lot of low scores with two players—Lucas Herbert (who leads the tournament) and Sam Burns—tying impressive major championship history with a pair of eight-under 62s.
Bryson DeChambeau stayed red hot and made the cut at a major for the first time this year. His back-to-back birdies on 17 and 18 have him at seven-under, which is just one shot back of Herbert. He will very much be a factor over the weekend and all the talk about his strategy can now be put to rest because he has attacked a dried-out Royal Birkdale the same way he went at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2024 when he won his second U.S. Open.
