Wyndham Clark Wins 2026 U.S. Open by Four Shots After Leading Every Round

Wyndham Clark won the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on June 21, finishing four shots ahead of Scottie Scheffler for his second major title. Clark led after every round and became the first wire-to-wire champion since Martin Kaymer in 2014.

Clark entered the final round with a six-shot lead after shooting even-par 70 in the third round and extending his advantage by two more strokes. The margin shrank to one stroke after seven holes of the final round before Clark restored separation with a 25-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole. He made bogey on the 17th hole and parred the 18th after a 53-foot birdie attempt stopped inches short.

Sam Burns closed with a three-under 67 while Scheffler posted a one-over 71. The tournament carried a $5 million purse. A spectator had a credential removed after yelling during Clark’s tee shot on the fourth hole, Kevin Van Valkenburg reported.

Spectators shouted “in the bunker” on several holes including the seventh. Clark received a tepid reception on the first tee while Scheffler drew loud applause. “The first one was a breakthrough of knowing I can do it,” Clark said after the round.
