Wyndham Clark won the 126th U.S. Open on June 21 at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York, finishing ahead of the field after leading after every round. Clark became the first player since Martin Kaymer in 2014 to win the U.S. Open wire-to-wire. The last wire-to-wire major winner before Clark was Brooks Koepka at the 2019 PGA Championship.
Clark used favorable early-late tee times in the first two rounds to build a large lead. He entered the weekend several shots ahead of the nearest challengers.
Clark’s advantage narrowed on Saturday and Sunday.
Tom Kim and Sam Burns moved within striking distance on the final day. Sam Burns’s birdie attempt on the 72nd hole lipped out, leaving Clark with a one-shot victory.
Pre-tournament betting analysis showed mixed results.
