Wyndham Clark will take a commanding six-shot lead into the final round of the US Open, while Scottie Scheffler boosted his career Grand Slam hopes with an impressive fightback at Shinnecock Hills. Halfway-leader Clark moved a huge step closer to a second US Open title in four years after another impressive display, in which he capitalised on the best of the conditions and his sublime scrambling to post a level-par 70. The American produced a stunning eagle at the par-five 16th to pull further clear
of the field, having already made two birdies and three bogeys in his round, with a final-hole bogey leaving Clark heading into the final day on seven under and one of just five players still in red figures.

with 12 of the last 13 players holding a 54-hole lead of six shots or greater in a men’s major going on to win.

Scheffler is joined on one under by Sahith Theegala, Sam Stevens and Tom
Kim, with two-time major winner Xander Schauffele among the group on level par, while Matt Fitzpatrick – playing alongside Clark – dropped to one over following a four-over 74.

Six shots?? That’s basically over, right. Golf is so random though lol.
I don’t even watch golf but I saw Scheffler “fightback” and now I’m like okay he’s gonna win the whole thing. Career grand slam sounds like the writers just want it for views.
“Sublime scrambling”?? So he saved bad shots? Either way the eagle at 16th sounds like a rigged moment where the course helps the favorite. Also how is Rory 10 strokes back after bogeys, like did he just stop swinging?
Clark up by six going into Sunday and then they put Scheffler right next to him?? That’s not fair lol. I swear the whole leaderboard thing always changes last minute. If world No 1 is tied-second on -1 then that means he’s actually doing bad?? I’m probably reading it wrong.
