21 Jun
Summary
- Wyndham Clark holds a commanding six-shot lead.
- He is pursuing his second U.S. Open title.
- Several top contenders are trailing Clark.
Wyndham Clark is in prime position to win his second U.S. Open title after a commanding performance at Shinnecock Hills. He established a six-shot lead heading into the final round, carding an even par 70 on Saturday. Clark, a former star for Oklahoma State, is now the 24th player in history with a chance to win the U.S. Open twice.
Several notable golfers trail Clark, including Tom Kim, Sahith Theelaga, and Scottie Scheffler, all at 1-under par. Clark's former teammate, Sam Stevens, struggled on the back nine, finishing the day six shots behind.
The course proved challenging, with the USGA increasing the greens' firmness. Clark, however, maintained his composure, notably sinking an eagle on the 16th hole. Amateur Eric Lee and Peter Uihlein are also in the field but are further down the leaderboard.
