Tournament leader Wyndham Clark posted pars on the final two holes of the first round when he returned to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club to complete the first round of the U.S. Open on Friday morning.

That put him at 6-under-par 64 for the opening round, which was suspended because of darkness Thursday night at Southampton, N.Y.


Clark's first-round lead settled at two strokes because Dustin Johnson ended up with 66. Gary Woodland and England's Matt Fitzpatrick both had 67s for the first round.

The group with first-round 68s included Sam Stevens, Max McGreevy, Spencer Tibbits, amateur Ryder Cowan and Spain's Jon Rahm.

Clark had a quick turnaround with his second round beginning prior to 8 a.m. Friday.
