Just 20 minutes after Rickie Fowler set a U.S. Open record by shooting a 62, Xander Schauffele did the same, launching up the leader board to join Fowler at 8-under par. The 62’s from Schauffele and Fowler at The Los Angeles Country Club also tied the mark for lowest score in any men’s major tournament. Here’s every televised shot from Schauffele’s amazing opening round.

1:02 you can't tell me he didn't steal that from Greg Norman with the hand action on the right before swing…. I tried it many years ago and it does allow ease in your body pretty darn good but no guarantees from me.
So great the USGA are putting these videos out so quickly. Showing the USPGA how it should be.
2 rounds of 62 at a US Open?….Not worth watching..I mize well watch The Waste Management Open
Well I think the champion is going to be the best putter who makes the fewest putts and stays in the fairways thats usually how it goes lol 😜😂😊
That sounds like a Tin Cup movie lol 😂 love it ❤
The fact we had people shooting this low in a US Open proves this course is not suited for a Major.
His Asian mother and German father are proud!
Waiting for Max Homa as well
I would like to either schauffle, hovland or Rickie fowler to win the US open
The only bad thing about this venue is the dimwits complaining about the low scores. For God's sakes, don't be so willfully stupid. The course is dispersing the scores, rewarding great play and punishing mediocrity…plenty of big names shot +3 or worse. And the scores will go up as the week goes on. The course rewards intelligence and shotmaking, and is way more fun than watching hole after hole of hack it out of rough because the fairway is 22 yards wide. I suppose if someone gets off on seeing high numbers that is their right, but if you think this course isn't great because of a couple of 62s, you are truly clueless about golf course architecture. They could reduce fairway widths by 20 yards and the scores would go up, but it would largely eliminate strategy and make the course worse.
A couple of little guys out there killing the course!
@3:19 wicked gay
5 top 10s in 6 US Open starts is insane, Xander is well overdue
