Wyndham Clark had a round to remember Sunday at the 2026 Travelers Championship.
The U.S. Open champion shot 5-under 65 during the final round at TPC River Highlands, and he did so with an excellent performance on the greens. Clark made 105 feet of putts, and he took only 20 swipes with the flat stick on Sunday.
In the history of the Travelers Championship, that's the fewest number of putts in a round ever.
Clark's putter change to the Scottsdale TEC Ally Blue Onset has been revolutionary for his game. Since making the change, he has won twice – the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and his second U.S. Open title – and finished T-5 at the Travelers. His worst finish in the last five starts is T-11. In a little more than three months, he has gone from a below-average putter to one of the best in the world.
The record for fewest putts in a PGA Tour round is 18, a whopping one per hole, achieved 12 times. Cameron Smith was the latest to do it in 2021.
Clark made a charge Sunday at the Travelers before a late bogey but still managed a top finish after an exhausting week at Shinnecock Hills. Now, Clark gets to rest for a week before heading to Europe for the Scottish Open and the final major of the year, the Open Championship.
