Scottie Scheffler struggles in final round at 2026 U.S. Open

Summary

Scottie Scheffler failed to mount a significant challenge during the final round of the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills on Sunday. Despite having a chance to apply pressure on leader Wyndham Clark, Scheffler opened with a bogey and, after briefly showing promise, faltered with four consecutive bogeys to finish the round. Scheffler's performance reflects a broader trend of inconsistency this season, as he has not played at the high level expected from the World No. 1. With this finish, Scheffler will have to wait for another opportunity to secure his first career grand slam.
