Wyndham Clark Wins on Windy Shinnecock

Wyndham Clark just won the U.S. Open at four-under par — and guess what? USGA CEO Mike Whan predicted that exact score two months ago, saying if the wind blew, four-under would be the winner. And blow it did. The USGA, especially John Bodenhamer, pulled off a flawless execution under chaotic weather at Shinnecock Hills — one of golf’s toughest tests. This year, they ditched the old-school strategy of artificially ramping up difficulty, instead letting the course play true: fairways widened, greens watered, speeds dialed back. The result? A brutal, wind-driven test that rewarded pure skill — and the cut line at four-over proved how hard it was. Whan’s new philosophy? Let the course speak for itself — and it’s working.
