SOUTHPORT, England \u2014 Another day at the British Open, another 62 posted.<\/p>\n

A day after two players \u2014 Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns \u2014 tied the major championship record for lowest round with 62s, Ryan Fox matched it Saturday.<\/p>\n

Fox, a 39-year-old from New Zealand, carded nine birdies and had one bogey en route to his 62.<\/p>\n

The round got him to 8-under par and tied for the lead with the lead group not teeing off for another 80 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing picky, I\u2019d want a couple of drives back today maybe, but outside of that, I feel like I didn\u2019t really miss a shot,\u2019\u2019 Fox said. \u201cI had a couple of great shots down the stretch, putted really nicely. When you\u2019re out in the morning, when the wind\u2019s down around here, there\u2019s almost some pressure on to shoot a score.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, I warmed up better yesterday,\u2019\u2019 Fox said of his second round Friday. \u201cI was going well yesterday. I was 4-under through 11 (and) I kind of struggled a bit coming home. Golf doesn\u2019t make sense like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe days sometimes you flush everything on the range and get a little aggressive early, and it doesn\u2019t work, and you shoot 2-over, and you\u2019re like it felt really good. Today, I kind of hit a couple of really good shots early and just kind of kept it rolling. I had one of those days where everything felt like I finished on a good number, like there was no real in-between shots with lines out of the fairway. That makes it easier.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Fox was paired with Xander Schauffele, who shot 62 in the 2023 U.S. Open and the 2024 PGA and posted a 4-under-par 66 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice,\u2019\u2019 Fox said. \u201cXander and I had a lot of fun out there today. Both made a bunch of birdies and kind of fed off each other. I would have taken 62 on a Saturday, that\u2019s for sure.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

As Schauffele said Saturday: \u201cYou\u2019d take a 62 anywhere. If it\u2019s in a major it\u2019s a cherry on top. But on a Saturday it\u2019s even better.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Schauffele said Fox \u201ccame out hot\u2019\u2019 in his round.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was hitting it close, making the putts he should make,\u2019\u2019 Schauffele said. \u201cThe wind was down when we were playing and it was kind of overcast, so I thought it was a little bit softer than before, and he played amazing. I went and I was just trying to hop on whatever wave he was on to the best of my ability.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, (we were) trying to play the best we can, but when you\u2019re even par starting eight (shots) back, you\u2019re just trying to go and shoot a good number, and he did just that. I played well, too.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Schauffele said the pins were placed in difficult spots, which made Fox\u2019s round even more impressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou definitely saw that they did not want another 62, looking at the pin sheet,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know where they\u2019re going to put the pins tomorrow after Foxy\u2019s 62, but they were on some slope for sure. His 62 is impressive for sure.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Fox\u2019s 62 was the eighth one posted in major championship history, joining Schauffele and Scottie Scheffler, both of whom did it twice, Shane Lowry, Branden Grace, Herbert and Burns.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Fox, who\u2019s played in 28 major championships and has only two top-20 finishes, had a chance to own the record on his own with a 61, but he left his 48-foot birdie putt on the 18th a few feet short of the hole.<\/p>\n

He said shooting 62 \u201cprobably crept into my head on 10, but I wouldn\u2019t say it was there,\u201d adding, \u201cThen, when I birdied 14, I was like, \u2018I\u2019ve got a chance here.\u2019 \u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

He birdied Nos. 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 on the front nine en route to a 29 and then 10, 14, 16 and 17 on the back, with one bogey on No. 13.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to be in that head space,\u2019\u2019 Fox said. \u201cHopefully, I can find something similar (Sunday).\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
