Lucas Herbert's dominant performance on Friday, July 17 during the second round of the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale Golf Club put him in the record books.

The record-tying round was matched later Friday by Sam Burns, who charged up the leaderboard by shooting 8-under after a 3-over-par opening round.
