Clark went into the final day as co-leader of the tournament held in Los Angeles and signed for par in the last round. He finally took the victory with a total of -10. Rory McIlroy with -9 and Scottie Scheffler with -7 rounded out the podium. Spain's Jon Rahm closes the Top 10 tied with Xander Schauffele and Dustin Johnson, all with -3.
Clark celebrated his victory at the U.S. Open:
This is now my second win on the PGA Tour, and the first one [at last month’s Wells Fargo Championship] was surreal and this one is surreal (...) It hasn’t quite hit me yet. It’s been a whirlwind the last five, six weeks. Just so blessed and humbled to be here.
Believe it Wyndham, you’re a major champion ❤️@Wyndham_Clark | @USOpenGolf pic.twitter.com/gIZVfHefya
