Sunday at Shinnecock Hills promises to be a day to remember as a winner will be decided at the 2026 U.S. Open. Just who it will be, of course, remained up in the air until the last few holes late Saturday to close the third round.
Can Wyndham Clark put the finishing touches on his second Open? It certainly looks that way right now as the 2023 champ holds a six-shot lead over a host of players. Scottie Scheffler, Sahith Theegala, Sam Stevens and Tom Kim are all in the group tied for second place, but again, they’re six shots back. Scheffler, of course, would capture the career Grand Slam if he could win and Clark happens to fold.

Still, you just never know what can happen with all the pressure on the line late Sunday.
A reminder that Raymond Floyd beat Chip Beck and Lanny Wadkins by two in 1986, Corey Pavin topped Greg Norman by two in 1995, Retief Goosen beat Phil Mickelson by two in 2004 and Brooks Koepka clipped Tommy Fleetwood by one just eight years ago. Point is, there are big names all over the place by the time the final putt drops at a U.S. Open at Shinnecock. Will this Sunday stay true to fom?
Sunday’s final-round starting times have not yet been announced but it is expected that the final twosome will go off around 2:30 p.m. with NBC signing off its TV coverage at 7 p.m. That time is much earlier than Saturday’s final round to leave room for a playoff if necessary.
Here is a list of the pairings for Sunday. Check back here soon and we will update with tee times once they’ve been released.
