History was made during the opening round of the US Open at Los Angles Country Club.

Americans Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele both shot a round of 62 - the lowest rounds ever recorded at the major known as the toughest test in golf.

The duo are tied at 8-under, two shots ahead of the rest of the field going into the second round.
