Wyndham Clark wins 2023 US Open, clinching American’s First Career Major | Update 24.7

Wyndham Clark wins 2023 US Open, clinching American’s first career major Wyndham Clark won the 2023 US Open to claim his first major title on Sunday edging Rory McIlroy in a nail biting finale at Los Angeles Country Club The American boasting just one prior win on the PGA Tour and having never previously made the cut at the tournament held off the challenge of Northern Ireland’s four time major champion to win the 123rd edition of the major by a single stroke Clark 29 carded a closing round even par 70 to finish 10-under overall and earn a $3.6 million winner’s cut of a record $20 million prize purse the largest ever awarded in major history
And while the win fell on Father’s Day Clark dedicated the win to his mother Lise Clark who died of breast cancer in 2013 The Denver born golfer had spoken at length about her inspiration earlier in the tournament explaining how she had left him with the instruction to play big Mission emphatically accomplished Clark teared up while discussing her in his winner’s interview I just felt like my mom was watching over me today and you know she can’t be here. Miss you mom said an emotional Clark I’ve worked so hard and I’ve dreamed about this moment for so long There’s been so many times I’ve visualized being here in front of you guys and winning this championship For McIlroy US Open champion in 2011 a nine year wait for a fifth major title continues. The 34-year-old has now finished inside the top five at 10 major tournaments since winning The Open and PGA Championship in 2014 When I do finally win this next major it’s going to be really really sweet McIlroy told reporters
I would go through 100 Sundays like this to get my hands on another major championship An even longer wait endures for Rickie Fowler who having begun the final round tied for the lead with Clark saw his dreams of an elusive first major evaporate in a painful final day slide The 34-year-old had made a historic start shooting 62 to join American compatriot Xander Schauffele in breaking the record for the lowest single round score ever shot at a US Open but closed with a 75 the fourth highest score of the final round, to fall to tied-fifth. Three times a runner up eight times in the top-10: the bittersweet tag of being one of the best golfers to never win a major remains stuck to the fan-favorite Californian
