Rickie Fowler started the First Round of the U.S. Open on fire, carding an 8-under par round of 62. The 62 from Fowler set the U.S. Open record for lowest score in a round, vaulting him atop the leader board with Xander Shauffele, who also made history with a 62 just moments later.

  1. Ricky has exorcised some demons and brought his game back. Great to see him playing some good golf again.

  2. I love that Rickie is flying! looks so in control of the ball and like he doesn't really have any swing thoughts, just nice and simple, almost cruise control at times

  3. I have to admit, I was pretty surprised to see Fowler on top. Great to see him doing so well. He has been working hard,making adjustments to his game and it's beginning to pay off. I hope he stays on top.

  4. Great round but this course is definitely not the typical difficult US Open that's the norm and the fact that 2 players shot 62 makes me kinda feel bad for Johnny Miller who shot his 63 at Oakmont(an actual difficult course.

  5. Go Rickie – but I have to say I have a hard time watching men's golf now that the Saudis own the PGA. It's like if the Saudis bought the NFL or MLB. It just ain't right.
