Wyndham Clark Wins 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills

The result confirms a hot stretch that began with a Byron Nelson win earlier this year.

Overview

  • Clark finished at four-under 276 to beat Sam Burns by one stroke and claim the 126th U.S. Open on Sunday, June 21.
  • The victory capped a strong run of form for Clark after he also won the Byron Nelson less than two months earlier.
  • Reports say Clark endured sustained heckling during the final round but closed out the win on the 18th green.
  • After the final hole, girlfriend Emily Tanner ran onto the course to embrace Clark and posted “MY WYNERRRRR !!!” on Instagram; Tanner is an influencer and founder of Over Social Agency with a large following.
  • Clark’s father, Randall Clark, surprised him by flying in from Denver for Father’s Day and Clark said having family there made the win more meaningful, a moment that will raise his profile as a major champion.
