US Open 2026 at Shinnecock Hills sees Matt Fitzpatrick close to leader Wyndham Clark

The 126th U.S. Open is being contested from June 18‑21, 2026, at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York. The field features 49 of the world’s top‑50 ranked players, including defending champion J.J. Spaun, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and a contingent of LIV Golf stars.

After two rounds, Wyndham Clark leads at 7‑under, with England’s Matt Fitzpatrick four strokes behind. Fitzpatrick posted birdies on the 16th and 18th holes in round two and said, “Two in the last three is always nice, especially at a U.S. Open.” He emphasized the need for patience and precision as he chases the lead. Italian golfer Filippo Celli is also competing, marking his second major appearance after a 2022 amateur Silver Medal at The Open.

The tournament offers the winner a five‑year PGA Tour exemption, ten‑year U.S. Open entry, and invitations to the next five majors. Broadcast coverage is provided by Sky Sport Golf and streaming on NOW.
