Wyndham Clark held his nerve to win the 123rd US Open, capturing his first major title and denying four-time major winner Rory McIlroy his first in nine years.
Clark shrugged off two late bogeys to emerge victorious after a pair of confident pars for an even-par 70 and a 10-under-par total of 270 at Los Angeles Country Club, good enough for a oneshot win over McIlroy, who also closed with a 70. World number one Scottie Scheffler carded an even-par final round to finish third on 273.
“I feel like I belong on this stage,” said Clark, “Even two, three years ago when people didn’t know who I was, I felt like I could still compete against the best players in the world.”
