South African Branden Grace made history at Royal Birkdale after shooting the first ever 62 in over 157 years of Major’s history.The 29-year-old from Pretoria sealed his place in the annuals of sporting history with his 62. In 1973, American Johnny Miller was the first player to manage a score of 63 during the US Open at Oakmont, and that was regarded as one of the best 18 holes ever played.Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Vijay Singh, and Rory McIlroy all nearly managed to get fewer than 63, but all ultimately failed.The 29-year-old tweeted his pride at his achievement and thanked his sponsors and the fans who watched him make history.He wrote: "62 what a day, so special! Thanks for all the support out there!@CallawayGolf @AudemarsPiguet @alfreddunhill @WheelsUp @SAPSports & Berenberg"Congratulations to Branden Grace!

As commendable as Grace’s achievement was on Saturday, all the attention was really on leader Jordan Spieth!

Saturday saw the American on the verge of becoming the second male player ever to win three different Majors before the age of 24. The first was American golfing legend Jack Nicklaus.

Incredible!

Tiger Woods never managed it, Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy did not either, and quite frankly, the list goes on. That is the calibre of golfer the Texan is vying with.

“I'm in a position where that experience can be very advantageous,” Spieth told journalists at Royal Birkdale.

“Everything I've gone through, the good, the bad, and everything in the middle. I understand that leads can be squandered quickly, and I also understand how you can keep on rolling on one.

“So it was a humbling experience that I thought at the time could serve me well going forward.”

It should be an interesting final round that’s for sure.

So going into the final day, it has been Spieth and Grace that are the two names of The Open so far. One for leading the tournament, and one for smashing a golf record.
