The final round of the 2026 U.S. Open is set, with Wyndham Clark holding a commanding six-shot lead heading into Sunday at Shinnecock Hills. The 2023 U.S. Open champion carded an even-par 70 in the third round to extend his advantage and move within 18 holes of a second national championship title.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will be his closest challenger. Scheffler, who shot one of only two under-par rounds on Saturday, will play in the final pairing alongside Clark at 2:30 p.m. ET. A victory would not only complete a remarkable comeback but also secure the career Grand Slam for Scheffler on his 30th birthday and Father’s Day.
The final round schedule was released following Saturday’s play, with players teeing off in twosomes beginning at 7:45 a.m. ET. Several notable names remain within striking distance, including Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood, Collin Morikawa, Tom Kim, and Sahith Theegala, all hoping to make a Sunday charge on one of golf’s most demanding venues.

The spotlight will be on the final group as Wyndham Clark and Scottie Scheffler tee off at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Clark enters Sunday with a six-shot advantage after extending his lead during a difficult third round. The 2023 U.S. Open champion remains in control of the championship, but Scheffler sits closest among the chasing pack and will have a chance to apply pressure from the same group.
Scheffler is attempting to complete the career Grand Slam and acknowledged the significance of the opportunity after Saturday’s round.
“I think it’s appropriate to understand what’s at stake,” Scheffler said. “I’ve worked really hard for a long time to have a chance to win golf tournaments and to win major championships.”
The world No. 1 also knows the challenge ahead.
“I’ll need a really nice round tomorrow if I’m going to try and catch Wyndham,” Scheffler said.
Just ahead of the leaders, Tom Kim and Sahith Theegala will tee off at 2:19 p.m. ET, while Xander Schauffele and Tommy Fleetwood headline another notable pairing at 1:46 p.m. ET.
With the leaderboard packed behind Clark, Sunday at Shinnecock Hills will determine whether the American can secure a second U.S. Open title or whether one of the chasing contenders can produce a late charge.
