Wyndham Clark

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.

He was ranked 80th prior to his four-stroke success at the Wells Fargo Championship but by July had climbed into the top 10, and two months later made his Ryder Cup debut.

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.

He then 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 Scheffler, and a third at the RBC Heritage.

The nearest he had come to winning before Wells Fargo was the 2020 Bermuda Championship, where Brian Gay birdied the last hole to tie and then did it again when they went into sudden death.

Clark was a teammate of Bryson DeChambeau in the 2014 Palmer Cup match at Walton Heath between the top college players of the United States and Europe, whose line-up included Jon Rahm. They faced each other in the concluding singles with Rahm coming out on top 4&3.
