Branden Grace shoots the first 62 in a major at the site of Johnny Miller's @TheOpen win. You couldn't script it any better.

Jordan Spieth is on the range as Grace wraps up his 62. Looks up from his ball when he hears the applause. Says, "Wow," then back to work.

They've been playing major championships for 157 years. This is the 441st. There's never been a 62 -- until now. Branden Grace has done it.
