Overview
- Clark reclaimed the U.S. Open on Sunday at Shinnecock Hills, finishing 276 (-4) to win by one stroke over Sam Burns.
- He began the final round with a six-shot lead and leaned on his short game and putter when nerves tightened late in the round.
- Sam Burns posted a closing 67 to reach 277 (-3) and was the clubhouse leader while Clark had four holes remaining.
- The USGA set up Shinnecock Hills extremely tough so that only three players finished under par, which kept scoring and strategy at a premium.
- Clark faced sustained jeers from parts of the crowd with at least one ejection, and qualifier Emiliano Grillo finished tied for 23rd for his second-best U.S. Open result.
