Clark grips Shinnecock’s dynamics to grab early U.S. Open lead

Wyndham Clark surged to a four-shot lead with a 6-under round through 16 holes as the U.S. Open began at Shinnecock Hills, helped by a fog delay and wind easing late in the day. The USGA slowed greens to keep the venerable course playable in gusty conditions, and Clark capitalized with a birdie-birdie-eagle burst, including an eagle on the par-5 fifth after Dustin Johnson faltered. Play was halted by darkness with 18 holes in reach, while Rory McIlroy and other past champions trailed the rising leader.
