Former Oregon Ducks golfer Wyndham Clark holds a commanding lead after three of four rounds of the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on Long Island, New York, seeking his second ******* le in the four-day tournament after winning in 2023.
Clark, who competed at the University of Oregon from 2016-17 after his first four collegiate seasons at Oklahoma State, holds a six-stroke lead heading into the final day of the tournament over Scottie Scheffler, Sahith Theegala, Tom Kim and Sam Stevens, all in second place one stroke under par. Clark set a 36-hole record for the lowest score in a U.S. Open held at Shinnecock Hills through two days and now is the undisputed favorite, baring a collapse, to win his second U.S. Open championship.
Clark sits seven strokes under par with a three-day score of 203.
Clark's performance so far at the 2026 U.S. Open serves as a bit of redemption after a disappointing finish and subsequent ban from Oakmont Country Club in Pittsburgh after damaging two lockers following his performance.
Clark did not make the 36-hole cut during the 2025 US Open after winning it in 2023, and took out his frustrations on two lockers, which led to a temporary ban after pictures of the damage went viral on social media.
