Open Championship controversy continues after Fox win (9 clusters)
Lucas Herbert leads Open after record‑tying 62; DeChambeau receives penalty
Australian Lucas Herbert posted an eight‑under 62 in the second round of the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, tying the major‑round record and moving to a two‑stroke lead at 8 under. Fellow Australian Sam Burns also recorded a 62, sharing the lowest‑round milestone. Two‑stroke penalty‑inflicted Bryson DeChambeau was assessed for “inadvertently improving the area of his intended swing” on the fifth hole, dropping his score from 7 under to 5 under and moving him from second place to a tie for fifth. The penalty reshaped the leaderboard, leaving Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm and other contenders within striking distance as the tournament heads into the third round on Saturday. Officials from the R&A confirmed the ruling, noting that the rule applies even when the breach is accidental. The Open continues at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England, with Herbert defending his lead and the field battling for the Claret Jug.
