Clark Holds Four-Stroke Lead as Shinnecock Winds Test U.S. Open

Wyndham Clark leads the U.S. Open at 7-under after 36 holes, four clear of the field as Round 3 tees off at Shinnecock Hills; a wind shift has the front nine playing brutally tough while opening chances on holes like the 5th, 8th and 9th, with a cluster of contenders including McIlroy, Scheffler and Harman in pursuit. Clark and Matt Fitzpatrick headline the late pairing, and the cut line is expected near 4-over.
