Rickie Fowler set the U.S. Open record, then his countryman finished alongside him 30 minutes later. 9WWOS
Rickie Fowler of the United States plays his shot from the seventh tee. The record comes on the 50-year anniversary of Johnny Miller becoming the first player to shoot 63 in a US Open, in the final round at Oakmont. Five others have shot 63 in the US Open since then, most recently Tommy Fleetwood in the final round at Shinnecock Hills in 2018.
Unfortunately for Fowler, his name won't stand alone in the record books. Xander Schauffele hit a bogey-free 62, with the Californian making five birdies on the back nine.Fowler's last big win was 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open. He has come close at Majors many times in the past, notably in 2014 when he finished inside the top-five at all four majors - the first man in history to achieve that feat.
Schauffele currently ranks sixth in the world and is looking for his first major victory this week after 10 major top-10s since 2017. For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by
