Schauffele shot an 8 under par 62 tying Ricky Fowler for the clubhouse lead just over halfway through the 1st round.
When asked about his historic round, Schauffele said he had"pretty good flow through the round."
Fowler was playing just ahead of Schauffele on the course and he definitely noticed what Fowler was doing, using it as motivation,"I was looking at Ricky throughout the day, if he was doing it, why not me?" Schauffele won the 2020 Olympic Golf gold medal, but a major championship win has eluded the 29 year-old. He's been close, tying for 2nd at the 2018 U.S. Open and the 2019 Masters, in addition to numerous top ten finishes at majors. The former San Diego State golfer always seems to play well at major championships and today's 1st round was no exception.
