A Year After Smashing a Locker, Wyndham Clark Finds Himself Leading at Another US Open
Clark built a four-shot lead with the lowest first round and a 36-hole standard at Shinnecock Hills, rebounding after last year’s missed cut at Oakmont.
- On Friday, Wyndham Clark secured a four-shot lead at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills after shooting 1-under 69, finishing his second round at 7-under 133.
- Clark recently returned to form by winning the Byron Nelson four weeks ago, his first victory in 28 months, following his locker-smashing incident at Oakmont last year.
- Sports psychologist Julie Elion wrote in her book Mastering Your Mental Game that mental growth is a process, while Clark recently introduced girlfriend Emily Tanner on social media.
- Other competitors faced Shinnecock's difficulty; Xander Schauffele trails at 137, while Dustin Johnson endured a quadruple-bogey 8 on the 15th hole during a back-nine meltdown.
- Clark described his progress as "climbing Everest," acknowledging that his mental game requires constant effort as he pursues another major championship this weekend.
