USGA chief championships officer John Bodenhamer joined the "Live From" crew Thursday night.

The first round of the 126th U.S. Open spilled into Friday at Shinnecock Hills, following a two-hour fog suspension on Thursday.

Play is resumed at 6:35 a.m. ET with second-round tee times pushed back 15 minutes. Wyndham Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champ at LACC, slept on a four-shot lead with two holes remaining.

Updates
DJ fires 66

The 2016 champ had eight birdies, two bogeys and a double. Two of those birdies came Friday morning.

Johnson finished third at Shinnecock in 2018, part of four top-4 finishes in a five-year stretch.
It’s a 64 for Wyndham Clark

Clark parred his final two holes Friday morning. His 6-under 64 is the best opening round in a Shinnecock Open. It’s also his second opening 64 in the championship. The other? LACC in 2023, which he won.
Woodland gets to 3 under

The 2019 U.S. Open champ is T-2, three off the lead with one to play in his opening round.
DeChambeau salvages bogey at last

He did a lot of hacking from the rough on the par-4 ninth, but made a 26-footer for a ‘5' to shoot even-par 70.
Round 2 is underway as well

Looking at some of the quick turnarounds for those still wrapping up Round 1 (ET):

7:45AM: DeChambeau, Hovland, Fitzpatrick
7:56AM: Clark, DJ, Woodland
8:07AM: JT, Matsuyama, Schauffele
8:29AM: Rose, Spieth, Rahm
Couple of early birdies

Matt Fitzpatrick and Dustin Johnson each picked up a shot upon the resumption to reach 3 under. They are now three back of leader Wyndham Clark.
