A month after winning his first PGA Tour title at the 134th attempt, Wyndham Clark became a major champion by pushing Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler into second and third place respectively at the 2023 US Open.
Wyndham Clark held on bravely to win the US Open for the second time in four years.
Leading by six strokes coming into the final day, Clark battled gamely on the Sunday to win by one from Sam Burns at Shinnecock Hills in June. In doing so, he became the US Open’s first wire-to-wire champion since Martin Kaymer in 2014.
Clark was ranked 80th in the world prior to his maiden PGA TOUR success at the Wells Fargo Championship in 2023 but – helped by winning the US Open at LA Country Club – had climbed into the top 10 by the July, and made his Ryder Cup debut just two months later.
In early 2024 he added the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am, where a third-round 60 swept him from six behind to one ahead before the final round was washed out.
Another round of 60 – on the final day of the 2026 CJ CUP Byron Nelson – helped Clark come from two behind Si Woo Kim to claim his fourth PGA TOUR title by three strokes.
He reached third in the world rankings and qualified for a Presidents Cup debut following a joint runner-up finish at the Players Championship, one behind Scottie Scheffler, and a third at the RBC Heritage.
His best performance at The Open came at Royal Portrush in 2025, where he finished in a tie for fourth after an excellent final day 65 which included eight birdies.
