Wyndham Clark enters Sunday's final round at Shinnecock Hills with a six-stroke advantage after posting a level-par 70 in round three. The American sits at seven under par, eyeing a wire-to-wire victory at the 126th US Open in Southampton, New York. His closest competition comes from world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who remains the only other player under-par alongside Clark.

Clark and Scheffler will tee off together at 2:30pm local time (7:30pm UK), with Sahith Theegala, Sam Stevens and Tom Kim completing the second-place tie. Rory McIlroy's third-round 73 dropped him to tied-17th, ten shots back of the leader, ending his chances of a second major this season. The Masters champion will partner Akshay Bhatia in the day's final pairing.

The full tee sheet runs from 12:45pm UK time through 7:30pm, featuring players from twelve countries including England's Justin Rose, Tyrrell Hatton and Tommy Fleetwood. Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Collin Morikawa are among those needing low scores to apply pressure on the leaders.

Clark's consistent ball-striking has kept him atop the leaderboard all week, while Scheffler seeks the career Grand Slam that has eluded him. The stage is set for a compelling finish at one of golf's most demanding venues.
