LOS ANGELES — Good things are coming in pairs at the 2023 U.S. Open.
Thursday’s first round at Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course produced two 62s, first by Rickie Fowler and followed soon thereafter by Xander Schauffele.
Deuces were also wild on No. 15, with two holes-in-one on the par-3 hole.
A few hours after Matthieu Pavon aced the par-3 hole, Sam Burns followed suit on the hole playing 124 yards.
Playing alongside Dustin Johnson and Keith Mitchell, Burns had just birdied the 14th hole, his fifth hole of the day, as he started on the back nine. He then stepped up to and made the one of the more memorable shots of his life.
