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.

Olivia Mehaffey leads German Masters after opening 64
A first competitive round with a new caddie and a new driver did not hamper Olivia Mehaffey as her eight-under-par 64 gave her a one-shot lead after the opening day of the Amundi German Masters. The 25-year-old Belfast woman, who took a break from the Ladies European Tour halfway through last season for mental health reasons following the death of her father Philip in December 2021, carded 10 birdies and two bogeys at Golf and Country Club Seddiner See to edge ahead of 16-year-old Indian amateur Avani Prashanth. "I have got a new caddie on the bag and this was our first round. It was very enjoyable," said Mehaffey. "I actually changed my driver on Friday, I had been struggling off the tee, so it's a new driver and it's been much better. "It's been a struggle for me, I've had my battles the last couple of years. I have a great psychologist and a great coach."
