Wyndham Clark

A month after winning his first PGA Tour title at the 134th attempt, Clark became a major champion by pushing Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler into second and third place respectively at the 2023 US Open.

The 29-year-old was ranked 80th prior to his four-stroke success at the Wells Fargo Championship, but by July had climbed into the top 10, two months later made his Ryder Cup debut and this February reached sixth place thanks to a third round course record 60 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am.

It took him from six behind to one in front before bad weather ruled out any further play. Had a putt to tie Scheffler at March’s Players Championship, but it horseshoed out.

The nearest he had come to winning before Wells Fargo was the 2020 Bermuda Championship, where a closing 65 left him tied with Brian Gay, who birdied the last hole and then did it again when they went into sudden death.

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.
