Wyndham Clark’s first major championship victory came on Father’s Day and served as a tribute to his mom, who died of breast cancer in 2013.
Becoming a winner Sunday meant holding off the first- and third-ranked players in the world:and Scottie Scheffler. All three leaders shot even-par 70 in the final round. Clark's 70 was good enough to beat McIlroy by one and Scheffler by three.
Clark stayed cool when trouble beckoned as it always does at what's known as golf's most exacting test, even when it isn't. He saved bogey after whiffing his third shot from the heavy greenside rough on the par-5 eighth. He made an up-and-down par save on No. 9 from a knee-high lie in the rough. “An up-and-coming star,” his caddie and one-time assistant coach at Oregon, John Ellis, called him."If he wasn’t one before, he is one now. First time he has actually competed in a major for a chance to win and he shows he can handle the heat.”
