Former Oregon Ducks golfer Wyndham Clark holds a commanding lead after three of four rounds of the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on Long Island, New York, seeking his second title in the four-day tournament after winning in 2023.Clark, who competed at the University of Oregon from 2016-17 after his first four collegiate seasons at Oklahoma State, holds a six-stroke lead heading into the final day of the tournament over Scottie Scheffler, Sahith Theegala, Tom Kim and Sam Stevens, all in second place one stroke under par. Clark set a 36-hole record for the lowest score in a U.S. Open held at Shinnecock Hills through two days and now is the undisputed favorite, baring a collapse, to win his second U.S. Open championship.Clark sits seven strokes under par with a three-day score of 203. Clark's performance so far at the 2026 U.S. Open serves as a bit of redemption after a disappointing finish and subsequent ban from Oakmont Country Club in Pittsburgh after damaging two lockers following his performance.Clark did not make the 36-hole cut during the 2025 US Open after winning it in 2023, and took out his frustrations on two lockers, which led to a temporary ban after pictures of the damage went viral on social media.The Oregon alum told reporters this week that the incident doesn't reflect who he is and that he's hoping he can "win back the fans" with a more mature approach this year. Clark will tee off in the final round at 11:30 a.m. Sunday. Fans can watch Day 4 of the tournament on USA Network from 6 to 9 a.m., then from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. coverage will be on NBC and Peacock.Alec Dietz covers University of Oregon football and womens basketball for The Register-Guard.
