Overview

  • Clark secured the 126th U.S. Open title on Sunday with a 72-hole total of 276, finishing one stroke ahead of Sam Burns after a closing 73 and earning $4.5 million.
  • He began the final round with a six-shot lead over world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and saw that advantage shrink dramatically on Shinnecock Hills’ difficult setup.
  • Scheffler shot a 71 on the last day to finish tied for fourth and failed to complete a career Grand Slam on his 30th birthday.
  • The wind‑blown, firm greens at Shinnecock Hills produced big leaderboard swings, forced several top players into mistakes, and led to Germany’s Matti Schmid missing the cut after two rounds.
  • Clark became only the ninth player to win the U.S. Open from start to finish and added a second major to his record while coping with intense crowd pressure that drew boos and jeers during the final round.
