British Open champ in 2002 and 2012 crossword clue
64 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 3, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “British Open champ in 2002 and 2012” is ELS. It appears as 64 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 3, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Secret Society” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 15, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
The clue is a straightforward definition, so the answer is a direct synonym or a factual match for the words as written. The entry begins with E and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
