Summary:
Today marks Moving Day at the US Open, where Windham Clark is leading with an impressive score of 7 under after 36 holes at Sinek Hills, setting a new course record. He holds a four-stroke lead over Matt Fitzpatrick, Xander Schauffele, and Sam Stevens, who are all tied for second at 3 under. Only three players had finished under par in the last five US Opens at this course, making Clark’s performance remarkable, especially after a controversial exit from major championships last season.
The final group featuring Clark and Fitzpatrick will tee off at 3:45 p.m. ET today. The USGA has warned players about faster greens for Saturday, which could challenge the competitors further. If Clark wins, it would be his second US Open title, adding to his victory at the 2023 Los Angeles tournament and his recent win at the CJ Cup.
The leaderboard at the halfway point shows:
- Windham Clark (-7)
- Matt Fitzpatrick, Xander Schauffele, Sam Stevens, Tom Kim (-3)
- Collin Morikawa (-2)
The weather may improve throughout the day, and anticipation builds around how the course conditions will impact the leaders. Featured tee times include notable players like Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas earlier in the day. The cut line was set at 4 over.
