There had been 31 instances of golfers shooting 63 in major championship history, but until Saturday at The Open Championship, there had never been a 62. Branden Grace fired that number at Royal Birkdale to set the all-time single round record at any of the four major championships.
There have been 146 Opens, 117 U.S. Opens, 99 PGA Championships and 81 Masters, and nobody touched 62 until Grace did it in Round 3 at Royal Birkdale. That's 157 years of golf history, and Grace stands alone with his 62.
It's the 11th time someone shot 63 or better at this tournament with the most recent one coming last year at Royal Troon in the final round when Henrik Stenson did it.
