29-year-old Wyndham Clark earned his first major championship on Sunday with a win at the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club. The Colorado native rebounded from back-to-back bogeys at Nos. 15 and 16 with two pars to win at 10 under par, one shot ahead of Rory McIlroy three in front of Scottie Scheffler.
Clark and Rickie Fowler began the day tied for the lead at 10 under. Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the Official World Golf Ranking, began the day three back but two bogeys ended his run. Cameron Smith shot a Sunday 67 to finish fourth while Tommy Fleetwood shot another final-round 63 in a U.S. Open to finish fifth.
Clark won for the first time on the PGA Tour just last month at the Wells Fargo Championship. He’s the fifth straight player to become a first-time major champion at the U.S. Open.
