Sam Burns and Lucas Herbert each post 62 at The Open amid ESPYs criticism

Sam Burns recorded a 62 at The Open, a score that went largely unnoticed because U.S. broadcasters NBC and USA Network gave little coverage. In the same tournament, Lucas Herbert also shot a 62, tying a major‑record score.

The ESPY Awards ceremony attracted criticism for its low profile and for snubbing the U.S. men's hockey team. Former ski star Lindsey Vonn made a splash on the red carpet, while other sports stories, such as the worst umpiring calls of the MLB season, were also highlighted in the column.
