Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns tie major record but Herbert's final bogey denies him a new mark. Read the detailed report.
POLICY WIRE — City, Country — Australian golfer Lucas Herbert expressed mixed feelings after he and American Sam Burns tied a major record, only for Herbert to miss out on a new mark due to a bogey on the last hole.
Herbert — and Burns both shot 62 in the third round of a major tournament, equaling the record set several years ago. However, a bogey on the final hole cost Herbert the opportunity to set a new record.
“It’s a mix of emotions,” Herbert said. “Obviously, I’m thrilled to be part of such an elite group, but it’s disappointing not to go one stroke lower.”
Burns, who also shot 62, echoed similar sentiments. “It’s an incredible feeling to tie this record. Lucas played exceptionally well, — and it’s a shame he didn’t get the new record, but that’s golf,” Burns noted.
The tournament continues to draw significant attention, with both golfers now in contention for the top prize. Their performances have reignited discussions about the evolving standards in professional golf.
