Open-standout golfer Lucas Herbert remains a top European Tour name, contending for titles and regularly finishing in the mix on big stages.
Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns have both shot 62s to lead the Open, matching the lowest rounds in major history. Bryson DeChambeau has been penalised two strokes for inadvertently improving his lie on the fifth hole. Defending champion Rory McIlroy sits in contention while DeChambeau contemplates next moves.
Fleetwood eyes a historic Open victory at Royal Birkdale as top peers chase the title amid a star-studded leaderboard. A record-equalling 62 by Lucas Herbert leads the charge, with DeChambeau up for a controversial penalty drama and Fleetwood drawing rapturous support from home crowds.
Jackson Suber has taken the lead after the Open's opening day, with several stars including McIlroy, Scheffler and Fleetwood in pursuit. Friday's rounds bring a full schedule from early morning to late afternoon on the Southport coast.
