>Lucas Herbert holds a two-shot lead after an extraordinary second round at The Open, where two players equalled major history and Bryson DeChambeau was involved in a controversial ruling.

>DeChambeau had his strategy questioned pre-tournament and arrived looking to avoid the 'Bryson Slam' of missing every major cut, with the two-time major champion responding by following an opening-round 67 with a birdie-birdie finish to a four-under 66.

>It lifted him to seven under and within a shot of Lucas Herbert, who equalled the lowest round in men's major history despite bogeying the final hole of an eight-under 62, only for a lengthy rules review seeing DeChambeau handed a two-shot penalty for inadvertently improving his lie at the fifth.

>Herbert leads Jackson Suber, Cameron Young and Sam Burns, who matched the Australian's 62, while a visibly frustrated DeChambeau dropped back to five under and three off the halfway lead.

>A star-studded leaderboard sees world No 1 Scottie Scheffler, Tommy Fleetwood, Jon Rahm, Bob MacIntyre, Matt Wallace and Alex Fitzpatrick all within four of the halfway lead, as McIlroy sits seven behind after a three-under 67.

>Just nine strokes separate everyone who made the cut, with PGA champion Aaron Rai (+2), US Open winner Wyndham Clark (+3), Justin Rose (+3), Matt Fitzpatrick (+4) and 2017 champion Jordan Spieth (+10) among those to make an early exit.
