Clark keeps hot pace, now up 6 shots at U.S. Open

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -- Not even Shinnecock Hills and its strongest test of the week in the U.S. Open could match the toughness of Wyndham Clark on Saturday. Clark had a collection of par saves around the turn as Scottie Scheffler was making a move and poured it on with a fairway metal to 4 feet for eagle on the par-5 16th for an even-par 70 that gave him a six-shot lead. No one has ever lost more than a five-shot lead in 125 previous editions of golf's toughest test.
