Summary
A 52-foot lag putt to 9 inches on the 72nd hole sealed Clark’s one-shot win over Sam Burns at Shinnecock Hills after his six-shot lead shrank repeatedly on Sunday.
Clark closed with a 3-over 73 for 4-under 276, matching Retief Goosen’s lowest U.S. Open score at Shinnecock and becoming the first player in 12 years to lead after every round.
Burns charged from seven back with a 3-under 67 but missed birdie chances on 17 and 18; qualifier Tom Kim finished third at 279 as the only other player under par.
Scottie Scheffler, paired with Clark and chasing a career Grand Slam on his 30th birthday, never mounted a serious run and finished even-par 280, four shots behind.
The victory gave the 32-year-old his second U.S. Open title after a difficult 2025, with Clark saying his short game, putting and improved composure carried him through a hostile New York crowd.
