Wyndham Clark came out of nowhere to win the 2023 US Open, defeating Scottie Scheffler and Cameron Smith by two strokes. Clark, who was ranked 122nd in the world entering the tournament, shot a final-round 68 to finish at 13 under par.
Clark's victory was a surprise to many, but he had been playing well leading up to the US Open. He had finished in the top 10 in his previous two starts, and he had a strong track record at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Clark's game was built on his driving accuracy and his ability to make putts. He hit 17 of 18 greens in regulation in the final round, and he made four birdies on the back nine.
"I'm just so happy," Clark said after the win. "I've been working so hard for this."
Clark's victory is a major breakthrough for the 28-year-old from Wisconsin. He is now the first player to win a major championship after starting the year ranked outside the top 100.
Clark's win is also a boost for American golf. The United States has not won a major championship since Patrick Reed won the 2018 Masters.
"It's great for American golf," Clark said. "I hope this inspires other guys to go out there and compete."
Clark's victory is a story of perseverance and hard work. He has been through a lot in his career, including a battle with Lyme disease. But he never gave up on his dream of winning a major championship.
"I never doubted myself," Clark said. "I knew I could do it."
Clark's victory is a reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. He is an inspiration to golfers of all ages, and he is sure to be a major force in the game for years to come.
