All of the drama for the final round of the 2026 U.S. Open will come in the final pairing on Sunday, as Wyndham Clark tees off at 2:30 p.m. ET with a six-shot lead alongside Scottie Scheffler, who is in pursuit of the career grand slam. Clark extended his lead by two shots on Saturday with an even-par 70, as Shinnecock Hills Golf Club fought back after a relatively easy -- compared to past history -- first two days.
Despite the stiffening conditions, Clark more than held his own, grinding out proper U.S. Open pars and delivering the shot of the week to set up an eagle on the 16th. Now he'll have to handle the nerves on a golf course that is only getting tougher one more time and do so with a crowd trying to will Scheffler to a historic comeback. With a $4.5 million winner's share on the line from a record $22.5 million U.S. Open purse, there will be plenty of competition down the stretch.
The penultimate group features Tom Kim and Sahith Theegala at 2:19 p.m., as the one-time rising stars look to produce their best major finishes in years -- and potentially play spoiler to the final pairing if things go sideways for Clark. A few groups ahead of them will be a marquee pairing of Tommy Fleetwood and Xander Schauffele, both of whom will feel they let a bit of an opportunity slip away on Saturday. Fleetwood knows better than anyone what you can do when freed up to attack at Shinnecock on a Sunday, as he shot a 63 in the final round back in 2018 that he'll use as visualization for what's possible.
Rory McIlroy will tee off more than two hours before the leaders at 12:13 p.m. alongside Akshay Bhatia, as he tries to bounce back from a back-nine implosion that took him out of contention on Sunday, barring something truly spectacular.
