Herbert Ties Record, DeChambeau Penalized

Lucas Herbert tied the major championship single-round scoring record with a 62 at Royal Birkdale, taking a two-shot lead into the weekend at The Open.

Sam Burns also carded a 62 as scoring conditions proved favourable on the second day.

Bryson DeChambeau was handed a controversial two-stroke penalty for improving his lie on the fifth hole, dropping him from solo second to tied fifth.

The American was reportedly "fired up" by the ruling, with his camp insisting "he's not a cheater" as the incident sparked debate across the golf world.
