Wyndham Clark overcomes 'dumb bogeys' in turbulent final round to win at Bellerive
Wyndham Clark squandered his five-shot lead on Sunday while being chased at the BMW Championship by Patrick Cantlay and Rory McIlroy. Clark, who bogeyed three of his first 10 holes, regained it behind a closing stretch that saw him nail down three straight birdie putts over the final three holes at Bellerive.
St. Louis witnessed a dramatic final round at the 2026 BMW Championship on Sunday, as Wyndham Clark emerged victorious. Clark, who had bogeyed the opening hole for the second consecutive day, staged a remarkable comeback in the final three holes to clinch the title with 17 under par. His triumph was marked by three birdies, leaving his competitors in the dust.
Former rivals Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, and Gary Woodland all found themselves in the mix throughout the week, with each player making their mark on the tournament. McIlroy, the reigning U.S. Open champion, shared the lead at one point, while Cantlay and Woodland briefly shared the top spot after Clark lost his five-shot advantage.
The final round saw remarkable performances from all four players, with Cantlay ending the week in second place at 14 under, and Woodland finishing T-4 at 12 under. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler battled through health issues to finish the tournament at 7 under, further solidifying his position in the FedExCup points standings.
