Shane Lowry became the first European to shoot a 62 in a Major as his putter caught fire on the hottest day of the US PGA.
Branden Grace at the 2017 Open was the first to shoot a 62 followed by Xander Schauffele and Rickie Fowler at the 2023 US Open - and Schauffele again in the first round here. Four of the five best scores in Major history have come in the last 11 months. “I am just trying to play with a lot more instinct than I have been,” he said. Lowry and his Ryder Cup team Justin Rose sparked off each other as they both made four consecutive birdies on the front nine from the second hole.
“I will need to do a lot more of the same. The golf course is gettable. As you have seen with Justin and myself today, someone can come from a long way back. I will come out fighting tomorrow."
