PEBBLE BEACH, CA. - Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele and Louis Oosthuizen made flying starts to share the U.S. Open first-round clubhouse lead on five-under-par 66 as players plundered Pebble Beach on Thursday.
Fowler drove the ball with metronomic efficiency, and came within a whisker of matching Tiger Woods for the best round ever in an Open at Pebble Beach, but a birdie putt at the par-five 18th shaved the hole without dropping. Woods, the 2000 champion at Pebble, and two-times defending champion Brooks Koepka were among the big guns with late tee times.
That would be only miscue by the Northern Irishman, who is bidding to become the first player in 119 years to win the U.S. Open after victory the week before the major.
