Has Xander Schauffele won a major championship? Exploring the golfer’s best major performances

Xander Schauffele makes history at the 2023 US Open after playing a round of 62, the lowest in the tournament's history. He topped the leaderboard alongside Rickie Fowler with a scoring deficit of under eight, sharing the record for the lowest round in major tournaments with Branden Grace. However, he is far from done.

Xander Schauffele turned pro in 2015 and won 10 professional events, including seven PGA Tour events and two European Tour events. However, he is yet to win a major event.

He has played in all four major tournaments, with his best finishes recorded at the Masters and the Open Championship. Xander Schauffele finished in third place at the US Open in 2019 and tenth place at the 2020 PGA Championship.

Interestingly, eight of the last 11 US Open winners have won the first major of their careers, and Schauffele's foot would fit in the glass.

However, trailing behind him by two strokes are Dustin Johnson, a two-time major champion, and Wyndham Clark. Rory McIlroy, the four-time major winner, was equally impressive, shooting a round of 65 to level with Brian Harman on -5.

Xander Schauffele started the 2023 US Open with two back-to-back birdies on the initial two holes. He made five birdies on the front nine holes and added three more on the back nine to wrap up with a historic score of 62.
