The 2026 US Open was held at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York from 18 to 21 June 2026, with Wyndham Clark winning his second US Open title in a dramatic final round. Shinnecock Hills is one of the oldest golf courses in the United States and one of the five charter clubs that formed the USGA in 1894. The 2026 edition was Shinnecock Hills' sixth time hosting the US Open, tying it for third-most among US Open venues.
The 2027 US Open will return to iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links on the Monterey Peninsula in California from Thursday 17 June to Sunday 20 June 2027. It will be the 127th edition of the championship and Pebble Beach's seventh US Open, tying the course with Baltusrol Golf Club for the second-most US Open hostings behind only Oakmont Country Club (10). Pebble Beach last hosted the US Open in 2019, when Gary Woodland claimed his first major championship by three strokes over Brooks Koepka.
2026 US Open Recap: Wyndham Clark Survives Shinnecock
Wyndham Clark withstood one of the most dramatic final rounds in recent US Open history to claim his second Wanamaker Trophy at Shinnecock Hills on Sunday 21 June 2026. The 32-year-old American finished at 4-under par (276) for a one-stroke victory over Sam Burns, who carded a closing 67 to finish at 3-under and post the best finish of his career in a major.
Clark became the ninth wire-to-wire winner in US Open history and the first since 2017, leading from the first round through to the closing tap-in par on the 72nd hole. He started the final round with a six-stroke lead but bogeyed three of his first seven holes to see Burns close to within a single stroke. The defining moment came on the par-5 16th hole: after pulling his tee shot into thick fescue, Clark recovered to the fairway with a remarkable second shot, then sank a 24-foot birdie putt to restore his cushion.
Burns finished alone in second at 3-under, his closing 67 being one of only three under-par rounds at Shinnecock throughout the championship. Tom Kim, who had to qualify after falling outside the world top 140, claimed third place at 1-under in his strongest major showing since the 2023 Open Championship. World number one Scottie Scheffler, playing in the final group on his 30th birthday and looking to take a step toward the career Grand Slam, posted a 1-over 71 to finish well outside the top spots.
The hostile reception Clark received from the gallery was the unexpected storyline of the week, with fans openly rooting for his demise after his locker-smashing incident at the 2025 US Open at Oakmont. Multiple spectators were ejected for heckling, but Clark held his nerve to claim the $4.5 million winner's cheque from the record $22.5 million purse.
