Clark clings to US Open lead as Scheffler charges

Wyndham Clark held a two-stroke lead after the front nine holes during the third round of the 126th US Open at Shinnecock Hills on June 20, 2026. World number one Scottie Scheffler was making a charge but had started poorly with back-to-back bogeys, putting him at two-over par. Clark was trying to maintain his advantage against Scheffler and the rest of the field in the marquee major championship.
