- On Thursday, Wyndham Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, seized a 4-shot lead at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club after reaching 6-under par through 16 holes before darkness halted play.
- Subsiding winds transformed the course following a two-hour fog delay, allowing Clark to pull away late while early starters faced relentless gusts approaching 25 mph throughout the day.
- Seven players chase Clark, including Oklahoma junior Ryder Cowan and Dustin Johnson. Rory McIlroy salvaged a 69 despite midday gusts topping 30 mph, when the scoring average was well above 74.
- Only 17 players remain under par at Shinnecock Hills as the tournament resumes Friday morning, with Clark needing to complete his final two holes before the second round begins.
- Winds are expected to be less intense for Friday's second round, as the United States Golf Association intentionally set up the course to remain playable during strong conditions.
