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.
A host of players sit at 2 under with more wind in the forecast for Friday. Strategy off the tee and execution on approach shots will be key keeping scores in the red heading into the weekend.
