Wyndham Clark captures second U.S. Open title at Shinnecock Hills

All the shots Clark hit at Shinnecock added up to a one-shot victory. However, it was two specific shots on Sunday that earned him status as a two-time major champ.

Wyndham Clark survived a final-round scare to win his second US Open title in four years with a one-shot wire-to-wire victory at Shinnecock Hills. The 2023 champion successfully avoided conceding the biggest 54-hole lead in the event’s history after starting the day with a six-stroke advantage.

Six shots ahead at the start of the final round, Clark’s final act was two putts from just outside 50 feet for par that gave him a 3-over 73 and a one-shot victory over Burns. Clark, who won the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, became the first wire-to-wire winner of the U.S. Open since Martin Kaymer at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2014. Scheffler had his own share of mistakes and never got closer than three shots all day.
