Rickie Fowler thunder stolen as lowest ever US Open record matched moments later

Rickie Fowler broke a 123-year-old record by becoming the first person to shoot a 62 at the US Open - only for Xander Schauffele to repeat the feat a mere minutes later.

Fowler, 34, was also the first player to make ten birdies in a round at the championship, adding two bogeys to finish eight-under. A score of 62 is just one shy of the Los Angeles Country Club record.

Fellow American Schauffele soon had the opportunity to equal that course high and really steal the spotlight from Fowler. However, he fell short with a putt that would have ensured a successful 61 attempt.
