SOUTHAMPTON (New York): Wyndham Clark built a four-shot lead heading into the weekend at the US Open, reaching the halfway stage on Friday at seven-under as he hunts for redemption at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.

The 2023 US Open champion made headlines a year ago when he wrecked a locker after missing the cut at the tournament at Oakmont.
