Justin Thomas breaks record for lowest score to par in U.S. Open history
ERIN, Wis. -- In a stunning display of golf, Justin Thomas broke the record for lowest score to par in U.S. Open history during his third round at Erin Hills.
The 24-year-old shot a nine-under 63 Saturday, breaking Johnny Miller's previous record of eight-under, which he carded at Oakmont in 1973. Thomas capped his stellar round with an eight-foot eagle putt to finish at 11-under with a two-shot lead.
Thomas had six birdies on his front nine, and three more on the back. He had just one bogey on the par-4 10th. Thomas, clad in striking pink pants, drove the green at 15, stuck seemingly every approach shot and turned his putting stance around (literally) to sink a twisting putt from off the green at the par-4 5th.
