Wyndham Clark held on to win his second U.S. Open title on Sunday at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.<\/p>\n

Clark shot a three-over 73 on Sunday, but he won thanks to the large cushion he built over the first three days of the tournament. He finished with a four-under score for the tournament,<\/p>\n

Clark leaves Long Island with the $4.5 million winners’ purse and 750 points in the FedEx Cup standings. <\/p>\n

Clark edged out Sam Burns by one shot. Tom Kim took solo third place, while Keith Mitchell, J.T. Poston and Scottie Scheffler tied for fourth.<\/p>\n

The full U.S. Open leaderboard can be found here<\/a> on the tournament website.<\/p>\n

Clark’s win at Shinnecock allowed him to jump 14 spots in the FedEx Cup standings. <\/p>\n

The 32-year-old had far from the most sensational final round for a major champion, but he held on to his advantage for the entire 18 holes. <\/p>\n

Clark’s biggest challenge came from Sam Burns, who ended up one shot shy of the now two-time U.S. Open champion.<\/p>\n

The win was the second U.S. Open title for Clark, who also captured the title back in 2023 at Los Angeles Country Club.<\/p>\n

Since then, Clark has had mixed success at majors. He had four missed cuts and a single top-10 finish at majors between his two U.S. Open triumphs.<\/p>\n

Clark is now in a position to ride the wave of momentum following his win into The Open and the rest of the PGA Tour season.<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler, who finished at even-par in fourth place, sits on top of the FedEx Cup standings with Matt Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young and Clark beneath him in that order. <\/p>\n

Clark was one of 10 golfers to make a double-digit move up the FedEx Cup standings with their U.S. Open finishes. <\/p>\n

Tom Kim, who finished third, made the biggest leap up 43 places to 55th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wyndham Clark held on to win his second U.S. Open title on Sunday at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":753394,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-753393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/753393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=753393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/753393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/753394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=753393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=753393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=753393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
