In a stunning display of golf, Wyndham Clark wins the US Open, overcoming a great four day battle mostly lead by Rickie Fowler and Rory Mcilroy.
This remarkable triumph is Wyndham’s first Major victory and only his second tour Victory, however, what makes this win so special is after qualifying for the PGA Tour in the 2018/19 season, Wyndham recorded his first ever tour victory at the Wells Fargo in May of 2023, only one month prior to his first Major. His patience has certainly paid as he has hit his peak form at the perfect time!
An intense week of golf at the LA Country Club which stood true to the US Open tradition of fast greens and the toughest of rough to catch out any player who lost his accuracy.
After a very low scoring Thursday, as expected the course got tougher and scoring stabilised with the headlines being stolen by Rickie Fowler and his welcomed return to form following his 8-under 62 on Thursday was backed up by steady rounds to give him a 54 hole total of -10.
Always in the mix, but flying more under the radar compared to Rickie was Wyndham Clark who also managed a 54 hole total of -10. With Rory Mcilroy also in the mix, it definitely felt
as though Wyndham was the low key underdog heading into Sunday.
As Sunday came, more noise began on whether Rory Mcilroy could find another Major after a 9 year drought or if Rickie Fowler could complete his return to form with his first Major. Very little noise was on the man who ultimately kept his cool and took home the 123rd US Open with an incredible final round. Although he was under pressure from Rory until the final putt on 18, Wyndham continued to do his job so well and claim his first Major.
