U.S. Open 2026: What to know from Round 1 at Shinnecock Hills

At the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, Wyndham Clark holds a four-shot lead after completing 16 holes of the first round, sitting at 6 under par. A two-hour fog delay on Thursday morning left 50 players unable to finish Round 1, who will return Friday morning to complete their rounds. Clark, a former U.S. Open champion at Los Angeles Country Club in 2023, has been in superb form recently, including a Sunday 60 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and a top-three finish at the Memorial.
