Scottie Scheffler remains in contention for his first career Grand Slam at the U.S. Open as he closes on Wyndham Clark, who holds the advantage heading into the final stretch. Multiple reports say Clark dominates the tournament’s leaderboard position after building a sizable gap, with one account placing him at a six-shot lead entering the final round. Scheffler, the world number one, is described as fighting back strongly at Shinnecock Hills, producing a one-under-par round of 69 that improves his standing and keeps his “career Grand Slam” bid in play. One outlet also notes that Scheffler is one of four players on the leaderboard at one under par and tied for second, trailing Clark by a small margin at that stage.
In the same overall event coverage, another report focuses on Scheffler’s reaction to Clark’s performance, saying Scheffler praises Clark’s resolve amid hostile conditions and a difficult test from the course. Clark is also reported as winning his second U.S. Open title, edging Sam Burns by one stroke to finish at 280.
