Wyndham Clark strolled to the finish line on Saturday evening at Shinnecock Hills to open up a six-stroke lead heading into the US Open final round, but sparse galleries made for a tame atmosphere and little excitement for TV viewers.
The final group went out at 3.45pm local time - giving vibes of 'twilight golf' at LACC in 2023 - as fans headed for the exits well before the last pairing finished out post-8pm.
