Summary
Seven-under Wyndham Clark took a commanding halfway lead at Shinnecock Hills after rounds of 64 and 69, capped by a 33-foot birdie on his final hole Friday.
Clark said "boring" golf and favorable early conditions helped him build the advantage after a weather-disrupted first day, adding he still felt he left shots out there.
The 2023 US Open champion called the week a step toward redemption after criticism for damaging a locker during last year's missed cut, saying he is in a better mental place.
Xander Schauffele and Matt Fitzpatrick were Clark's nearest pursuers at 3-under, with Collin Morikawa another shot back after a second-round 65.
History still offers caution: each of the previous four US Opens at Shinnecock Hills was won by a player who trailed by multiple strokes after 36 holes.
