Australia's Lucas Herbert said he felt "all the emotions" after producing a stunning eight-under-par 62 at Royal Birkdale, a round that matched the low scoring record at The Open.
The 30-year-old surged to nine under through 17 holes and briefly looked capable of making outright championship history. Instead, a difficult finish meant he had to settle for a share of the record rather than claim it on his own.
Even so, Herbert's performance stood out as one of the headline moments of the day. A 62 at The Open is a rare achievement, and doing it at Royal Birkdale underlined just how impressive the Australian's round was.
Herbert's reaction reflected both the excitement of getting so close to a new benchmark and the frustration of narrowly missing it. Still, his record-equalling score ensured his name was firmly in the spotlight at one of golf's biggest events.
