For 54 holes, Golf Twitter would have had you believing that the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock was one of the most boring major championships ever. Then, Sunday happened.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Wyndham Clark’s commanding performance somewhat sucked the energy from the property on Saturday at Shinnecock. And there wasn’t much energy to begin with.
