Fleetwood flirts with 62, ties US Open mark with 63
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) Somehow, tying a U.S. Open record with a final-round 63 wasn’t totally satisfying for Tommy Fleetwood.

Still, the 12th-ranked player in the world had a special achievement on Sunday. Only five players have shot 63 in the U.S. Open, and only Johnny Miller in 1963 – when he won the tournament – had done it in the fourth round.
So Fleetwood knew what that last stroke was all about.
”The putt, I actually started it on the line I wanted to,” he said. ”It was a little bit slower than I expected.
”I knew what score it was for. If I could go back, I would give it a little pace.”
After he missed, one fan yelled out: ”You still have beautiful hair!” referring to Fleetwood’s long locks.
