Danish golfer ends US Open with five bogeys

Danish golfer Niklas Nørgaard experienced a disappointing end to the major tournament US Open on Sunday. Playing the final round at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club near New York, he struggled with his game, recording five bogeys.

Despite a birdie during the round, Nørgaard could not recover lost ground. He completed the fourth round in 74 strokes, four over par, bringing his total score to eight over par for the tournament. While some players are still finishing their rounds, he currently sits in the lower half of the leaderboard among those who made the cut.

Top rankings were never within reach for Nørgaard throughout the competition. In the third round, he shot three over par and dropped seven places to a tie for 29th, also marking five bogeys in that round. American Wyndham Clark has established a strong position for a potential victory, holding a comfortable lead over his pursuers at the start of the final round. Clark is a past champion of the US Open, having won in 2023 in Los Angeles.

Two Danish players started this year's event. Nicolai Højgaard did not make the cut for the weekend's final rounds.
