Wyndham Clark Turning the US Open Into a Runaway. Scheffler Still Has Hope for a Slam

  • Wyndham Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, maintains a six-shot lead heading into Sunday's final round at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club after carding an even-par 70 on Saturday despite challenging conditions.
  • Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, a founding USGA member course, tested competitors throughout the 126th U.S. Open, with only two players breaking par during Saturday's difficult third round.
  • Clark showcased resiliency with a spectacular eagle on the par-5 16th hole and several crucial par saves, finishing at 7-under 203, the lowest 54-hole score ever recorded at the Southampton venue.
  • Scottie Scheffler, Sam Stevens, Tom Kim, and Sahith Theegala trail Clark by six strokes in a four-way tie for second place after Scheffler carded a 69 on Saturday.
  • On Sunday, Scheffler aims for a career Grand Slam on his 30th birthday and Father's Day, though no player has ever lost more than a five-shot lead in 125 previous U.S. Open editions.
