Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele each shoot 62 to set U.S. Open record

Before Thursday, only one round of 62 had ever been recorded in a major championship, and never at the U.S. Open.

Just halfway through the first round of the 123rd U.S. Open, two 62s were already on the board.

Rickie Fowler rang up 10 birdies en route to the first 62 in U.S. Open history Thursday afternoon, and Xander Schauffele finished up about 20 minutes later with a bogey-free 62 to match him.

Fowler and Schauffele went 8-under par at the par-70 Los Angeles Country Club, which is hosting a major for the first time.
