SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -- The U.S. Open is off and rolling. After a blistering Round 1 that saw gusty winds batter players early before laying down a bit in the afternoon, the players are back for more on Friday as many look to make the cut while others jockey for position atop the leaderboard.
One of those players is Wyndham Clark, who completed his Thursday at 6 under through 16 holes -- four clear of the next closest player on the leaderboard. He took advantage of the conditions late in the day despite not finishing his round. He'll need a similarly gutty performance on Friday as he looks to put himself in contention for his second U.S. Open title on the weekend in New York.
There are players looking to make a move on the leaderboard, like Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa, who closed their second rounds strong on Friday morning to put a little pressure on Clark. Schauffele fired a 66 and closed with a pair of birdies in his last three holes. Morikawa, meanwhile, closed strong as well with three birdies on the back nine.
