Wyndham Clark won the 2026 US Open golf tournament on June 22 at Shinnecock Hills in New York. He closed with a three-over-par 73 to secure a one-stroke victory over Sam Burns. Clark entered the final round with a six-stroke lead and completed a wire-to-wire triumph.
The result gave the 2023 champion his second US Open title. Al Jazeera reported that Clark withstood taunts from spectators during the round. He had damaged a locker at Oakmont after missing the cut at the 2025 US Open and was not selected for that year's Ryder Cup team.
"The first one was amazing, and this one seems even better," Clark said. " Clark added that he hoped the win would close the door on the 2025 incident. "I sure hope it closes the door on it," he said.
Caddie Ted Scott told Clark after the round that the victory took a lot of grit. Clark had worn a USA hockey jersey at the 2026 PGA Canadian Open the previous week.
