LOS ANGELES — Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele may have gone historically low on Thursday, but there’s plenty in the field right behind them entering the second day of play at the U.S. Open.
Fowler and Schauffele each posted an 8-under 62 to kick off play on Thursday, which marked the lowest scores ever posted at a U.S. Open. A 62 has only been recorded one other time in all four majors combined, too.
They were far from the only ones who went low, however. Wyndham Clark and Dustin Johnson are two shots back at 6-under, and Rory McIlroy and Brian Harman each carded an opening-round 65.
