SOUTHPORT, England -- Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns each matched the major championship scoring record of 62 on Friday in the British Open, with one celebration far different from the other.Herbert missed a 5-foot par putt on the tough 18th hole at Royal Birkdale that would have given the Australian the record alone. Two groups later, Burns capped off an astonishing birdie-birdie-birdie finish for the American by holing out from a greenside bunker on the 18th for his 62 on the par-70 Royal Birkdale links.The record was first set by Branden Grace in 2017, also at Royal Birkdale. It had been matched four times since then at two majors.Popular Reads___AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf
