Sam Burns completed an exceptional second round at the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, finishing with a score of 62. His round was capped by a memorable moment on the final hole, where he successfully played his ball out of the bunker for a birdie, providing a dramatic conclusion to his day.

Burns' 62 equalled the record for the lowest round in a men's major championship, matching the achievement of Lucas Herbert who previously held the distinction alone. This performance places Burns among the elite performers at major championships and represents one of the standout rounds of the tournament.
