Wyndham Clark has won the 2026 US Open, holding off a late charge to claim his second US Open and second major championship at Shinnecock Hills. Clark led from start to finish — the ninth wire-to-wire winner in US Open history — but made his six-shot overnight lead sweat before getting home by one.

How Clark Won the 2026 US Open
It was a survival, not a procession. Clark began the final round six clear, but a three-over front nine let Sam Burns — charging with a closing 67 — cut the lead to a single shot. The champion steadied with a clutch birdie at the par-5 16th, rolling in a 24-footer to restore breathing room, only to give it straight back with a three-putt bogey at the 17th. He needed a par at the last, and got it, signing for a three-over 73 and a 4-under total of 276 to win by one.
It is Clark’s second US Open, after his 2023 triumph at Los Angeles Country Club, and he becomes a multiple major champion in front of a famously partisan New York crowd. “Man, they definitely didn’t want me to win,” Clark said afterwards. “It’s pretty rare in a major to have fans kind of boo against your shots.”
Sam Burns — So Close
Burns produced the round of the day among the contenders, a five-under 67 that briefly had him within one of the lead and dreaming of a first major. In the end he ran out of holes, finishing a single shot back at 3-under — an agonising near-miss, but a breakthrough major weekend that confirms his big-stage credentials. Tom Kim’s closing 70 secured solo third.
Scheffler’s Grand Slam Wait Goes On
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler arrived chasing the one major missing from his collection, and partnered Clark in the final group. A level-par week and a tied-fourth finish leave the career Grand Slam on hold for another year — the US Open remains the gap on an otherwise glittering CV. He will regroup for The Open at Royal Birkdale next month.
Australian Tracker — Final Results
A week to forget for the Australians. For the first time in 67 years, no Australian made the cut at the US Open, with all five out before the weekend at a punishing Shinnecock setup.
| Australian | Result | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Cameron Smith 🇦🇺 | Missed cut (best-placed Aussie) | +6 |
| Lucas Herbert 🇦🇺 | Missed cut | +6 |
| Min Woo Lee 🇦🇺 | Missed cut | +7 |
| Adam Scott 🇦🇺 | Missed cut (100th consecutive major) | +8 |
| Jason Day 🇦🇺 | Withdrew (Round 1) | Back injury |
Cameron Smith and Lucas Herbert were the best of the Australians at +6, two outside the +4 cut. Min Woo Lee (+7) was undone by a four-putt triple-bogey at the 14th, while Adam Scott (+8) couldn’t mark his 100th consecutive major start with a weekend. Jason Day withdrew during the opening round with a back injury.
What’s Next — The Open Championship

US Open 2026 Betting Wrap
A front-running result that rewarded those on Clark early: a $6–$8 pre-tournament chance who led wire-to-wire after a record 36-hole total, he was odds-on by Sunday. The big-name favourites disappointed — Scheffler (T4) never got going and McIlroy (T32) missed the weekend contention entirely — underlining how Shinnecock punished anything but precision. For Australian punters, the top-Australian market was a write-off with the entire contingent missing the cut. Full markets for the next major in our best golf betting sites guide.
