American professional golfer on the PGA Tour
Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns have both shot 62s to lead the Open, matching the lowest rounds in major history. Bryson DeChambeau has been penalised two strokes for inadvertently improving his lie on the fifth hole. Defending champion Rory McIlroy sits in contention while DeChambeau contemplates next moves.
Jackson Suber has taken the lead after the Open's opening day, with several stars including McIlroy, Scheffler and Fleetwood in pursuit. Friday's rounds bring a full schedule from early morning to late afternoon on the Southport coast.
Wyndham Clark has won the U.S. Open by one shot, finishing 4-under 276 after leading most of the final round. Sam Burns narrowly misses a comeback, with Tom Kim and Scottie Scheffler in pursuit. Keith Mitchell sets a record for four even-par rounds. Joaquin Niemann makes a stirring comeback to finish seventh and earn a spot in Pebble Beach.
Wyndham Clark has preserved a six-shot advantage going into the final round at Shinnecock Hills, where strong winds and firm greens test all contenders. Doug Burns mounts a late rally but cannot catch the leader, leaving Clark on track to become the first wire-to-wire U.S. Open champion since 2014.
