Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY SportsLOS ANGELES, June 16 (Reuters) - Americans Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele will look to build on their record-breaking starts to the U.S. Open as the second round began on Friday at the Los Angeles Country Club.
They produced matching eight-under-par 62s on Thursday, the lowest round in U.S. Open history, after 2014 runner-up Fowler poured in a tournament-record 10 birdies and world number six Schauffele avoided a bogey all day to take a share of the lead.
Both Rose and Day will have their work cut out, after carding a six-over par 76 and three-over par 73, respectively.
