While a lot of the sports world\u2019s attention is on the 2026 World Cup now, one of the biggest golf events on the calendar is taking place this weekend at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in New York.<\/p>\n
This would be the 2026 U.S. Open<\/a>. And so far, the story of the tournament has been American golfer Wyndham Clark.<\/p>\n Wyndham Clark is leading the U.S. Open through two rounds.

While there\u2019s still a lot of golf to be played, the fact that Clark is several strokes ahead<\/a> of the second-place golfer at this point bodes well for his chances of winning the second major tournament championship of his career.<\/p>\n Clark is clearly a big fan of the U.S. Open, as his first major tournament win and breakout moment came when he won the 2023 U.S. Open at the Los Angeles Country Club.<\/p>\n A big difference between that 2023 tournament and this year is that this time, he has the support of his girlfriend, Emily Tanner.<\/p>\n Emily Tanner and Wyndham Clark hard-launched their relationship earlier this year at the Masters. Katie Jones\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n These two hard-launched their relationship during the Masters earlier this year with a wholesome social media post. Since then, Tanner has been following Clark on tour, supporting him while also building out her own social media platform as a golf WAG.<\/p>\n Tanner is in person to support Clark at this year\u2019s U.S. Open. And a video of them embracing each other after Clark\u2019s great first round Thursday shows how tight these two have become.<\/p>\n
