Mustache-wearing, hook-slinging, smooth-swinging Rickie Fowler got off to a fast start on Thursday at the 2023 U.S. Open in a stunning opening round that took the golf world by storm. The former Cowboy, who opened the week as a 45-1 longshot to win at LACC, carded a first-round 8-under 62 to set the pace on the field, tying for the lowest round ever in a major championship with Branden Grace and setting a U.S. Open single-round record.
Fowler set a record in his historic pace with 11 (!!) birdies in Round 1 and got to 8-under on the round despite bogeys at Nos.
