Halfway through the 2026 U.S. Open and on thing is clear: Wyndham Clark is one a heater.
The 32-year-old has had just one top-10 finish in a major since his 2023 U.S. Open victory. But Clark won in Dallas a few weeks ago at the Byron Nelson and is clearly on top of his game.
His 1-under 69 was good enough to leave him at 7 under for the tournament, four shots clear of the field through 36 holes. The question now is whether Clark will be able to extend his lead or if anyone like, like fellow major champions Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzgerald or even Justin Thomas, can make a move on the leader.
We will see how the day unfolds here in Round 3 of the U.S. Open, where you can follow along with us on all the action.
