Fowler, who grew up about 100 miles south of LACC in Murrieta, Calif., showed the kind of form on Thursday that a few years ago led you to believe he was going to win multiple major championships.
Fowler, in 2014, finished in the top five in all four majors, the first player to do that since Tiger Woods had done it nine years earlier. From 2013 through the 2015 Masters, Fowler was 16-under par in the majors, the best of any player in that span.
Rickie Fowler, who shot a record-setting 8-under 62, hits a tees shot on the eight hole during the first round of the US Open.“It’s nice to be actually out on course,’’ Fowler said on Thursday after carding 10 birdies and two bogeys in his record-setting round.Before his 62, no player had ever scored as low in a US Open, and then less than 20 minutes after Fowler completed his round, Schauffele matched him with a 62 of his own.
He’s back with Butch Harmon, the venerable swing coach who helped Woods and Phil Mickelson win major championships. “Rick’s awesome,’’ Schauffele said. “He’s truly probably one of the nicest guys out here. I couldn’t be happier for him to see him in good form.’’
