Wyndham Clark maintains four-shot lead at U.S. Open 2026

Wyndham Clark leads the U.S. Open 2026 after 36 holes, sitting at seven under par, with Xander Schauffele and Matt Fitzpatrick trailing at three under. Despite Clark's significant advantage, major championship history shows that only 38 percent of players with a four-shot lead at this stage have won their events. The last time a player held a similar lead at the U.S. Open was Dustin Johnson in 2018, who ultimately finished tied for third. Several players, such as Sam Stevens and Rory McIlroy, have also been close behind but were unable to capitalize on Clark's lead. The competition continues as the weekend approaches and conditions may change.
