Wyndham Clark won the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. He entered the final round with a six-shot lead but shot 3-over par, while Sam Burns started seven shots back and posted a 3-under round.
Clark finished one shot ahead of Burns to claim his second major title. Scottie Scheffler finished in second place after the third round and was scheduled to play in the final group with Clark. Scheffler remains one victory away from completing a career Grand Slam.
Rory McIlroy shot 40 on the back nine in the final round. Bryson DeChambeau missed the cut in his third consecutive major championship. In a concurrent LPGA event, Jing Yan shot a bogey-free round of 66 and remained atop the Meijer LPGA Classic leaderboard.
