Wyndham Clark: Positive Mindset Amid Jeers Fueled U.S. Open Title
Clark overcame jeers and chants to finish 1 stroke ahead of Sam Burns after a final-round 73 and claim his second U.S. Open title.
- On June 21, 2026, Wyndham Clark won the 2026 U.S. Open Golf Championship at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y., finishing at four-under-par to secure the $4.5 million first-place prize.
- Clark faced an "Anyone but Clark" vibe from the gallery, stemming from his 2025 locker-damaging outburst at Oakmont Country Club and other on-course temper tantrums that alienated fans over the past year.
- Despite shooting a 3-over 73 in the final round, Clark held off second-place Sam Burns by a single stroke, relying on a clutch putt on the 16th to maintain his lead.
- "Anytime someone said something negative to me, I replaced it with something positive," Clark told reporters, describing how he converted the gallery's hostility into fuel during the tournament.
- Next month, Clark will compete for his third major crown at the 2026 British Open, scheduled for July 16 to 19 in Southport, England.
