Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele break records in opening round of US Open at Los Angeles Country Club
Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele wowed the fans in the opening round of the US Open with record-breaking 18 holes at Los Angeles Country Club. USGA officials’ unwritten target for their tournament is for the winning score to be as close to par as they can engineer it, and they will have their work cut out to toughen conditions after many of the early starters on Thursday found Los Angeles Country Club to their liking. Ad Fowler thrived, as he made 10 birdies in a round of 62 — a record for a US Open and the joint lowest in major championship history.
