Wyndham Clark closed with a six-shot lead after round three of the US Open, making him the hottest favorite to win his second major title. Despite a bogey on the final hole, Clark's advantage is historically unassailable: no player in US Open history has ever failed to convert a six-shot lead after 54 holes into victory.
Round Three Recap
Clark's day included a 60-foot putt that rolled to within four feet, but he missed the short par putt, souring an otherwise stellar round. Matt Fitzpatrick also bogeyed the last, leaving him well off the pace.
