Wyndham Clark held off a final-round charge from world number one Scotty Scheffler and Sam Burns to close out wire-to-wire US Open victories with a one-shot win at Shinnecock Hills.
The 2023 champion saw a six-shot overnight advantage cut to just one on an intriguing major final day, with Barnes threatening the biggest final round comeback in US Open history and Scheffler in contention to complete the career Grand Slam.
Clark faltered on a front-nine 38 and failed to regain control of the tournament in the closing stretch, a stunning birdie at the closing 16th canceled out by a three-putt bogey to leave him just one up for a game.

How Clark Peeps Burns in Big Thriller

The momentum continued Barnes’ way with a 25-foot birdie at the fifth and another from about 50 feet at the eighth, as Clark holed from 15 feet to save par at the fourth but saw a chip roll to him en route to a bogey at the next.
