Lucas Herbert produced a remarkable burst of scoring at The Open Championship, making history with a front-nine 28. According to the event record noted in the report, that number ties the lowest nine-hole score ever recorded in the championship.
The feat stands out even more because of how rarely it has happened. In the 154 editions of The Open, only one player had previously posted a 28 over nine holes before Herbert matched it on Friday.
That round put Herbert in rare company and immediately made him one of the headline stories of the day. The report suggests the achievement may not be the end of his impact, noting that he had already made history and could still add more.
Even in a tournament known for its long legacy and countless memorable moments, Herbert's nine-hole surge is a performance that will be remembered. Tying a record that has been reached only twice underlines just how exceptional his start was.
