Herbert Shoots Historic 62, But Late Error Mars Royal Birkdale Round

The Australian golfer delivered a stunning performance at Royal Birkdale, posting a score that places him among the game's elite for a single round. His remarkable display featured a series of birdies and impressive play throughout the challenging course.

Herbert’s exceptional 62 brought him level with the existing record for the lowest single-round score in men's major championship history. This achievement marks a significant highlight in his career and the tournament's storied past.

Despite the historic achievement, a dropped shot on one of the closing holes proved to be a frustrating end to an otherwise flawless round, leaving him with a slight blemish on an otherwise perfect scorecard.
