LOS ANGELES — Tommy Fleetwood flirted with U.S. Open history yet again on Sunday.

Fleetwood had a 5-foot birdie putt on his final hole at Los Angeles Country Club that, if made, could have given him a final-round 62.

But his putt never touched the hole, and the Englishman had to settle for a 7-under-par 63.

That left him at 5-under for the week, though he lamented what could have been.

“I missed a 6-footer on the first [hole], missed 5-footer on the last, and then everything in between was really, really good,’’ Fleetwood said. “I got off to a nice start. I just happened to be playing really well and got momentum on my side. I hit some amazing golf shots. So amazing coming down the stretch and playing so well and shooting those scores on a Sunday in a U.S. Open.’’

It was reminiscent of Fleetwood’s 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock, where he shot a final-round 63, though he fell short of winner Brooks Koepka that day.

“I just need to be higher up the leaderboard coming into Sunday and then have another day like today,’’ Fleetwood said. “It’s a nice little piece of history.’’

Fleetwood is the first player in U.S. Open history to post two 63s.

“Having something like that and shooting multiple 63s in a major … days like today you can put in the memory bank and know that you can get rounds going and your game can stand up on a major golf course and shoot low scores is really nice to have,’’ he said.

Fleetwood, who began the day a 2-over, 12 shots out of the lead, said he was “pretty conscious of trying to shoot the lowest score I possibly could,’’ but added, “I never really felt in contention.’’

“I think that was one of the differences between today and Shinnecock,’’ Fleetwood said. “Shinnecock, as soon as I got midway through the back nine I was in with a chance, so I had a longer period where I was trying to win a major, whereas today it was just about shoot the best score you can, and I was enjoying it and trusting my game.’’

Gordon Sargent, who shot a final-round, 1-under-par 69 to finish at 4-over, was the low amateur for the tournament.

“It’s cool; it’s kind of what your goal as an amateur is, just to be the low-am,’’ Sargent, a sophomore at Vanderbilt and the 2022 NCAA champion, said. “Playing in my second major, I wasn’t as nervous as the first one. It just gives you confidence and also kind of shows what you need to work on. I know that my good golf, I can compete with the best and just need to limit the mistakes a little bit.’’

Asked what he learned from the pros most this week, Sargent said, “They seem to just limit their mistakes really well. They don’t really hit it out of position too often, and if they do, they just kind of get it back in position after that. You’ll see the leaders aren’t making doubles out there, and that was the key. Kind of just the consistency and like limiting the mistakes is what I envy in their games and what I’m trying to get better at.’’

Like Fleetwood, Austin Eckroat had a magical round going for a while and finished with a 5-under-par 65 Sunday.

Eckroat’s day was highlighted by the record-tying 29 he shot on the front nine.

“It’s awesome,’’ he said. “Every time someone gets off to a good start at a U.S. Open from now on, they’ll put on the nine-hole scoring record, and my name will be up there. That’s pretty cool. Obviously, I’ll share it with other guys. A 28 would have been pretty sweet.’’

He did have a 10-footer for birdie on No. 9 that would have gotten him the 28.

“I had a 10-footer that broke 10 feet, so it was a low percentage make on a 10-footer, and I hit a great putt,’’ he said. “One of those where you’re trying to make it in the side door, and just barely missed.’’
