Seamus Power pleads with USGA not to make conditions harder after record-breaking day at US Open

Seamus Power hopes the USGA do not “freak out” and make conditions more difficult at the US Open after Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele created history on day one of the tournament in Los Angeles.

The American pair both equalled the lowest score in men’s major championship history with stunning rounds of 62 at Los Angeles Country Club, matching the mark set by Branden Grace in the 2017 Open at Royal Birkdale.

It is also the lowest score ever recorded in a US Open, England’s Tommy Fleetwood making the most recent of the six previous 63s in the final round in 2018.
