Windy US Open Saturday morning on Shinnecock Hills, TEE TIMES, Live scoreboard..

USGA : US Open at Shinnecock Hills  Tee Times  Leaderboard

WEATHER ; 545am EST Sunrise to a deep blue, lightly clouded blue sky, crisp 16*c with a W wind gusting to 62km/h the story for the early tee times.

The cut fell at +4. 

Notables missing the cut Jon Rahm 68 78, Koepka 73 77, DeChambeau 70 75, Si Woo Kim 74 73, Fowler 71 74, Lowry 73 73, Cantlay 74 72, Hovland 76 69 and Reed 72 73 Adam Scott 73 75.  

Note >>>>  Shinnecock Hills GC aided and abetted by Mother Nature has allowed only 10 players under par and the leader Wyndham Clark at -7 is an anomaly since he played late Thursday night when the wind that blew all day died down, so he could make a few birdies that are the difference as Saturday's play begins. The rest of the field begins at just -3.

Matt Fitzpatrick calls for a dry, firm, fast US Open at Shinnecock Hills

Matt Fitzpatrick said he is hoping that the greens at Shinnecock Hills will become as dry and firm as possible for this week’s U.S. Open, welcoming the prospect of a demanding test as he prepares for the third Major Championship of the year.

The World Number Four, who finished tied 12th here in 2018 when the U.S. Open was last played at Shinnecock Hills, made clear during his pre‑tournament press conference that he believes the course is at its best when the set‑up is tough.

"I really like the golf course, he said on Monday.

"It's looking great already. Actually a little bit disappointed that they're out there watering it right now.

"For me personally, I want it to get as dry and firm U.S. Opens here. Fairways are a little bit wider than last time, as well."

His reasoning is straightforward, centering on the fact that he prefers a challenge that rewards patience, discipline and thoughtful course management rather than a week dominated by low scoring.

The course itself received plenty of scrutiny last time around, but Fitzpatrick said he felt that reaction was exaggerated and that he welcomes a proper test during a week like this.

“I think the biggest thing for me is that I don’t particularly like playing birdie‑fests. I don’t think it’s as enjoyable as having to… take today on the 11th hole, for example — the wind is pumping in off the left, and I’ve chipped a 5‑iron in there. If there’s no wind, you might be hitting 9‑iron or whatever. To me, it’s more of a test of controlling your ball if it is windy, if it is firm.

“Obviously there was a big… what’s the right word… meltdown of, ‘oh, they’ve lost the golf course, they’ve lost the golf course.’ I never believed they lost it. I don’t think they lost the golf course at all here. For me, it was difficult, and the strength of this golf course is the greens and the difficulty of the greens.”

He added that even at its most severe, Shinnecock remains fair for those who prepare properly and miss in the correct areas.

“I do believe, aside from maybe 10 and 11, if you miss the greens in the right spots and do your homework, you have opportunities to get up‑and‑down still. That is a patience thing. That is a skill in course management, in hitting good shots that are on the green in those tough times.

“If I compare it to 2018, I remember the practice rounds being quite firm, so it might not be the case this time. But, like I say, it’s in great shape, and I know it’s going to be a good test.” 

Fitzpatrick, who finished second at the RBC Canadian Open last week, now comes into the third Major of the year with plenty of confidence thanks to an impressive run of results that includes three victories on the PGA Tour.

The 31‑year‑old, who won the 2025 season‑ending DP World Tour Championship, hasn’t missed a cut anywhere since April last year, which is a level of consistency that has underpinned his rise.

As he prepares to go in search of a second Major title, Fitzpatrick was quick to credit the team around him for helping elevate his performances throughout 2026. He pointed to improvements in his iron play, a clearer understanding of his tendencies, and the support structure that has allowed him to contend week after week.

“I’ve always liked to feel like I praise my team a lot,” he said. “They put in a lot of hard work for me and try to help me become the best player I can be. Mark Blackburn has done a brilliant job from a technical standpoint on my swing. My iron swing is very different to what it was in the past, and that’s been the biggest change this year.”

He added that the improvements have given him more opportunities to capitalise when his putting is sharp. “Looking at the stats this season, it’s a case of hitting the ball closer and taking advantage of that. When I putt well, I know I can take those chances.

Inside this week's US Open at Shinnecock Hills GC

This week is the 3rd major of the 2026 season, the US Open at Shinnecock Hill GC. The course is the only venue to hold U.S. Opens in three centuries (1896, 1986, 1995, 2004, 2018 and now 2026).   Here are facts you might like to know.

It’s going to be a sport-crazed week for the whole of the New York metropolitan area, with golf’s national championship part of an unprecedented series of events. 

With New York a basketball-crazed town, the New York Knicks will celebrate their 2026 NBA Championship with a ticker-tape parade on Thursday. FIFA’s quadrennial World Cup is also in town Tuesday night, with France vs. Senegal at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands. And don’t forget New York Yankees home games the whole week against the White Sox and Reds. From one end of Long Island to the other across the 110-mile-wide region.

Scheffler and McIlroy chasing history

All eyes will be on World Number One Scott Scheffler as he makes his first attempt at completing the career Grand Slam. His win at last year's US PGA Championship and Open, added to his two Masters triumphs, put him on the cusp of joining golf's most exclusive club.

He has had three further PGA TOUR victories, a runner-up finish at the Masters and a worst result of 24th as he attempts to join the most recent member of that club.

That is Rory McIlroy who will be chasing more history in New York State. His win at the Masters took his Major tally to six and another would see him surpass Sir Nick Faldo as the European with the most Major wins in the four-event era.

100 up for Adam Scott

Adam Scott started his incredible run at the 2001 Open.

It was three days after Adam Scott's 21st birthday that the Australian teed it up in his second Major at the 2001 Open. He has not missed one since and this week makes it 100 consecutive starts in golf's four biggest events. 

In the near 25 years between those two starts he has won the Masters, had 19 other Major top tens and been World Number One, all the while possessing one of the most enviable swings in the game. 

He will certainly get plenty of attention this week but don't expect it to be a lap of honour for the 45-year-old who is still in and around the top 50 in the world - he will have the trophy on his mind.

Grateful nine make their debuts

The United States' national open and Shinnecock Hills Golf Club will provide a unique challenge and nine DP World Tour members are set to face it for the first time. 

Alex Fitzpatrick, Jayden Schaper, Nathan Kimsey, Adrien Saddier, Filippo Celli and Angel Hidalgo will all be playing the event for the first time. 

For Ugo Coussaud, Rocco Repetto Taylor and Hennie Du Plessis, it will be a first appearance at any Major. 

Six of those nine players came through the Qualifying process which when saw 10,201 players sign up for a chance to play.

All to play for

The results this week could have serious implications on the season-long Race to Dubai.

There are 10,000 Race to Dubai ranking points to be played for, with 1,665 going to the winner, meaning Rory McIlroy, Jayden Schaper and Aaron Rai could all overtake current leader Patrick Reed at the top of the standings. 

Also up for grabs are, alongside the trophy and Jack Nicklaus Medal, a U.S. Open exemption for the next ten years, an invitation to the next five Masters Tournaments, an exemption into the next five Open Championships, US PGA Championships and PLAYERS Championships and exempt status on the PGA TOUR for five years.

CALEDON, ONTARIO - Bud Cauley of the United States holds the trophy after his win on the 18th green during the final round of the RBC Canadian Open 2026 at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley on June 14, 2026 in Caledon, Ontario. (Photo by Vaughn Ridley/Getty Images)

CALEDON, Ontario (AP) — Bud Cauley took the lead with a birdie chip on the par-4 12th and won the RBC Canadian Open in rain and wind Sunday for his first PGA Tour title, eight years after his career nearly ended in a car accident at the Memorial Tournament.

The 36-year-old Cauley won in his 239th tour start — just over two years after he finally returned to the PGA Tour following the accident.

“There were times when I was hurt that we really weren’t sure if I was going to be able to play again,” said Cauley, who was a passenger in a car when he sustained six broken ribs, a collapsed right lung and fractured left leg.

On Sunday at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, Cauley closed with a -5 65 to get to -17, 263. He began the round a stroke behind Jackson Suber.

“So many events without getting a win,” Cauley said. “But with everything that our family went through when I was out, and then to have my first win when everyone’s here, just it kind of seems like perfect timing.”

“It was obviously playing difficult with the rain and the wind,” Cauley said. “The conditions were so much different today than they were the first three days. I feel like my game was in a pretty good spot, I was hitting some pretty good shots.”

Matt Fitzpatrick was second to take the FedEx Cup lead. He eagled the 18th in a 64.

Viktor Hovland was third at -14 after a 65. Suber (70), Jesper Svensson (68), Jimmy Stanger (67) and Brice Garnett (68) were another stroke back -13
