A historic Round 1 is in the books at LACC.
Fowler and Schauffele broke a 50-year record set by Johnny Miller, who secured the 1973 U.S. Open title by shooting a final-round 63 at Oakmont. Five other players had shot a 63 at the U.S. Open since.
Beyond Fowler and Schaffele, the U.S. Open field dominated Los Angeles Country Club on Thursday. No golfer exceeded an 80 in the first round and six players shot 65 or lower on the par-70 course. The average 71.37 score on the day was the lowest for a first round in U.S. Open history. Because of the overall play on Thursday, Fowler and Schauffele do not have as much of a cushion atop the leaderboard as they might have had otherwise after scoring 8-under. Dustin Johnson and Wyndham Clark are tied for third at 6-under, while Rory McIlroy and Brian Harman are tied for fifth at 5-under.
Fowler will once again start his round just before Schauffele on Friday. Fowler will tee off with Justin Rose and Jason Day at 4:32 p.m. ET before Schauffele gets going with Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland at 4:54 p.m.
