It's a classic US Open day.

The golden rough frames these holes beautifully well and that wind, as it has done all week, is going to play a big part in deciding today.

A third birdie of the round for Collin Morikawa at the seventh thanks to a booming 30-foot putt.

It's only enough to put him back at level par for the tournament given the two bogeys he's thrown in there.

But he's clinging on.

Sam Burns drives into the fescue at the par-five fifth and takes his medicine, chopping back into position. Wedge in hand, his third is badly underhit.

He's left with 26 feet for birdie...but he sinks it! Brilliant putt.

Burns moves three under for the day through five holes. Excellent start - and Wyndham Clark's lead has been halved.

Don't switch over to the World Cup yet, folks!

What a putt!

Sahith Theegala gets the shot he dropped at the first back at the third. And in some style, too, pouring a 20-foot right-to-left putt right into the heart.

And Tom Kim follows him in! These two have clearly calmed the nerves and are ready to play some golf now.

Wyndham Clark chips it over to and off the green from the rough, but plays a nice putt from just off the edge and then finishes it off with a four footer for par.

As with a few yesterday the ball didn't go in clean, wiping its feet first before dropping, but they all count and he limits the damage to just one shot.

Scottie Scheffler hits a lovely putt but it just burns the egde of the hole so he can't complete a two-shot swing, but he is back to 'just' the six shots behind he started the day.

We have had a big mover up the leaderboard today in the form of America's JT Poston.

A winner last time out in a play-off against Ryan Gerard at the signature PGA Tour event at Memorial, he's -3 through nine holes and up to level par for the tournament.

Actually, I think that's a cracking gift.

...

I'll get my coat.

Really nicely judged from Tommy Fleetwood at the fifth having found himself chipping his third shot from off the green.

In it dances and comes up inside five feet. Oh but he's rolled his putt around the rim and missed. Huge birdie chance goes.

Xander Schauffele does convert though and is back to level par for his day.

It really is all or nothing for Wyndham Clark in the majors, who has barely troubled the scorers besides his US Open win in 2023.

Joint fourth in last year's Open at Royal Portrush was his only other top 10 in 18 major appearances before this week at Shinnecock Hills.

He's even only made the cut half of the time, and usually bottom half of those to complete all four rounds when he does make the weekend.

And yet, he's pretty likely to end the evening with two US Open titles in his pocket - taking down Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler to win them - extraordinary!

Wyndham Clark sets up aiming way left on the second, but he bangs his iron shot off the tee straight in that direction, missing the green by a mile.

And luckily for him he's gone so far left that he's blown through the longer fescue and into some regulation low rough.

Scottie Scheffler finds the green and the crowd gives out a huge roar - I don't think they're anti-Clark just more pro-Scheffler and many of them (like us all) are hoping for some drama today.

Wyndham Clark could win his second US Open tonight in just his sixth appearance in the event - only three players won two US Open titles in fewer starts.

Starts needed for two US Open wins:

• 4 - John McDermott (1911, 1912)
• 5 - Walter Hagen (1914, 1919)
• 5 - Ernie Els (1994, 1997)
• 6 - Lee Trevino (1968, 1971)
• 6 - Brooks Koepka (2017, 2018)

Sam Burns' tail is up, but he finds trouble at the fourth.

Having driven into the rough, he scuttles a low approach up the face of the green and into the bunker.

But his recovery from sand is outstanding and it's a tap-in par to maintain his early momentum.

A couple of ship-steadying threes for the second-to-last pairing after those opening bogeys.

We join Collin Morikawa chipping out of the greenside bunker at the fifth but it catches him out and he overshoots the putting surface completely.

The stones in these traps have caused real issues this week.

All sorts of gnarly rough out there for the American and his chip back doesn't quite have enough juice and rolls back off the green. Tough, but at least it's a par five and he'll only drop one.

On the plus side, Matt Fitzpatrick claws back one with a timely birdie.

Wyndham Clark plays the first hole beautifully as he sends a wedge sky high with his second and lands it 16 feet from the hole - the birdie putt doesn't drop but it burns the edge and a par is just fine.

Especially as Scottie Scheffler went over the back with his approach and had to play a big flop shot back up onto the putting surface - leaving nine feet - and the putt for par was poor.

That's a bogey for Scheffler as he slips seven behind.

Pink and white has been a featured combo this week at Shinnecock.

From Brooks Koepka's deckchair attire on Thursday to Scottie Scheffler's more understated horizontal stripes for the final round, it's clearly this season's look.

Justin Thomas was in on the act on Saturday too - those pink trousers causing plenty of second looks as he stumbled down the leaderboard - and Xander Schauffele is in pink too today.

But what do you make of the colours?
