Clark sets 36-hole U.S. Open Shinnecock record
Key takeaways
- SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -- When Wyndham Clark arrived at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club this week, he said to himself that if he were to shoot even par across four days of golf, he would have a good shot to win his second U.S.
- "I really felt like I could be in double digits, but you know, the great thing about that is I didn't feel like I had my best, and I still am leading as of right now," Clark said.
- In 2023, Clark did not hold a lead until Saturday heading into the final round.
Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -- When Wyndham Clark arrived at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club this week, he said to himself that if he were to shoot even par across four days of golf, he would have a good shot to win his second U.S. Open.
After two rounds, the 2023 champion at Los Angeles Country Club has bettered that mark by seven shots, following up a 6-under 64 on Thursday with a 1-under 69 Friday on his way to breaking the 36-hole scoring record for a U.S. Open at Shinnecock.
