US Open 2026: Moving Day updates from third round - live
Wyndham Clark holds a six-shot lead heading into the final round of the 2026 US Open. He is currently the heavy favorite to secure his second major championship title.
Why it matters
The US Open is a premier global sporting event, and a dominant performance by a defending champion is a significant narrative in professional golf.
Wyndham Clark trundles his first putt up from 60 feet to four … then pulls the short par putt. A slightly sour end to an otherwise sweet day for the 2023 champion, who is nevertheless now the hottest of favourites to win his second US Open tomorrow. He’s six clear at the top of the leaderboard, and nobody in US Open history has ever failed to convert such a 54-hole advantage into victory. Bogey too for Matt Fitzpatrick, by the way. Thanks for reading, and join us tomorrow!
