Sam Burns concluded the final round of the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills with a score of 3 under par, one stroke behind Wyndham Clark, who ended at 4 under. Burns had a chance to tie but missed birdie attempts on the 17th and 18th holes, resulting in disappointment. This performance marked a redemption of sorts for Burns after his final-round collapse at Oakmont last year, where he finished T7. Despite not winning, Burns showcased his capabilities, finishing strong in a major championship. Clark's steady play allowed him to secure his second U.S. Open title after leading from start to finish.
