It's Sunday at the 2026 US Open and Wyndham Clark takes a huge six-stroke lead into the final round at Shinnecock Hills, as he seeks his second Major title.
The 2023 champion has World No.1 Scottie Scheffler for company in the final group, though, and Scheffler is hoping to celebrate his 30th birthday with a career grand slam victory.
So can Clark get over the line? Or will we see a tight finish? Follow along for live updates all afternoon from our team of tour golf experts...

MILES RUSSELL JUST MADE ANOTHER BIRDIE
See below posts for my Miles Russell love.
The 17-year-old has just fizzed a pitch shot to mere inches on the par 5 16th to make birdie and get to one-under-par for his round.
He is now up to T39th...which puts him level with Rory McIlroy.
FRANK, WE SALUTE YOU
Thank you to the hard-working volunteers and greenkeepers that allow us to play and watch the sport we all love so dearly. Without them it would not be possible.
This is Frank. He is one of the 200+ unsung heroes volunteering to help with agronomy this week @USOpenGolf. Today alone Frank will fill over 1,000 divots around Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. He woke up this morning at 2 a.m. to begin his 4 a.m. shift. People from all… pic.twitter.com/pTytugWCfdJune 20, 2026

- +2 Ryder Cowan (1)
- +6 Jackson Koivun (15)
- +7 Miles Russell (15)
- +10 Marek Fleming (74)
- +13 Eric Lee (71)
MORE MILES RUSSELL
Sorry for more Miles Russell, but it has got me thinking.
How high is the standard in US college golf right now? The boy tied for 45th in the US Open isn't even joining for another year!
Russell, 17, is currently beating World No.3 Cameron Young by three strokes.
He's also beating Chris Gotterup, Jordan Spieth, Bud Cauley, Russell Henley and Hideki Matsuyama. And he beat the likes of Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Viktor Hovland over two days as they all missed the cut.
Seriously good.
MILES RUSSELL WITH A BEAUTY INTO 15
AJGA no.1 and 17-year-old sensation Miles Russell has just birdied 15 to get back to level-par for the day and +7 for the tournament, which currently has him T45th. Just incredible.
He is not going to win the low amateur honors this year, but he will in the next four years.
Russell heads to FSU next year alongside close friend Charlie Woods, and he is surely going to be an absolute force.

INCREDIBLE STAT
This makes for great reading for Wyndham Clark. Not so much for Greg Norman...
Twenty-one players have had a 6+ shot lead entering the final round of a major championship. Twenty went on to win. The exception is Greg Norman at the 1996 Masters (shot 78 in the final round and lost to Nick Faldo by five strokes).

WHERE DID ALL THE FANS GO YESTERDAY?
If you haven't read my piece yet, take a look below as Wyndham Clark acknowledged he was disappointed by a fairly subdued atmosphere on Saturday evening.

TYRRELL HATTON CHIP-IN
The Englishman makes an eagle 3 at the par 5 5th hole to move up to +3, which incredibly is T17th.
An eagle will put a smile on anybody's face 😀Tyrrell Hatton with a double circle at No. 5. pic.twitter.com/OWSZMxX4X0June 21, 2026
KOIVUN MAKING GOOD PROGRESS
World No.1 amateur Jackson Koivun is two-under-par thru 13 holes and is now within just three strokes of amateur leader Ryder Cowan.
Cowan is yet to tee off in what will be one of the most pressure-filled rounds of his career as he looks to secure the gold medal.
HOW ARE THINGS LOOKING TODAY?
We are expecting a firm and fast Shinnecock Hills that will play the toughest of the week. So far, though, scoring is fairly low with multiple players under-par.
You have to feel it will firm up and dry out as the day goes on and provide a stern test.
