Wyndham Clark won his second U.S. Open title Sunday at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, holding on for a one-stroke victory over Sam Burns to finish at 4 under par. Clark, 32, had entered the final round with a six-shot lead — expanded from the four-shot cushion he held entering the weekend — and nearly surrendered it before closing out the championship.
Sam Burns, who began Sunday seven strokes back, carded a 67 in the final round and twice pulled within one shot of Clark down the stretch. Clark steadied himself and walked up the 18th fairway with a one-stroke advantage, winning amid a crowd that had been serenading Scheffler on his birthday. The closing drama gave way to a confirmed second major for Clark.
The victory made Clark the 24th multiple U.S. Open champion and the ninth player in tournament history to win wire-to-wire. His 54-hole total of 7 under par was the lowest ever recorded at Shinnecock Hills. Clark had previously won the U.S. Open in 2023 at Los Angeles Country Club, making him one of the few players to win consecutive national championships within a short span.
The Predict Six community correctly anticipated Clark would hold on, with 56 percent predicting his victory.
