Wyndham Clark says a new mindset and a major victory in 2023 give him a confidence boost as he enters Sunday's final round of the US Open with a six-stroke lead.
Clark eagled the par-five 16th but closed with a three-putt bogey to fire a level-par 70 in Saturday's third round to stand on seven-under 203 at windy Shinnecock.
"Tomorrow is going to be a new challenge. There's going to be some ups and downs. I'm really hoping I kind of bring my A-game finally, just sharper," Clark said.
"I made some dumb mistakes with wedges, which I normally don't do, and a couple of bad three-putts. If I can have my game, then I really love the opportunity."
Clark, the 2023 US Open winner, will be in the final group with top-ranked American compatriot Scottie Scheffler, a four-time major winner who can complete a career Grand Slam with a victory.
