Wyndham Clark wins the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills for his second major title in four years, shooting 3-over-par 73 in the final round to finish at 4 under par. Clark holds the lead entering Sunday and ultimately completes a wire-to-wire triumph, though it is repeatedly tested by Sam Burns and by a hostile gallery. Multiple outlets describe a sharp narrowing of the gap during the back nine after Clark’s advantage shrinks early in the round. Clark’s ability to manage his game late prevents what several reports frame as a potential historic collapse. Burns presses throughout the final stretch but finishes one shot behind Clark.
Several stories also note that the week’s attention is shaped by other high-profile figures. Sky Sports reports that world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler falls short of the Grand Slam bid, while Yahoo Sports and others discuss Clark’s position as the lone prominent contender with other marquee names largely removed from contention. Yahoo Sports and other outlets also mention Clark facing significant crowd hostility during the final round, including renewed heckling.
