Wyndham Clark made Colorado golf history Sunday by winning the U.S. Open in dramatic fashion.
Clark outlasted tour superstar Rory McIlroy at Los Angeles Country Club and won by a stroke with a three-foot par putt on the 18th hole. The victory makes the Denver-born Clark the first Colorado native to win the U.S. Open.
“I’ve worked so hard and I’ve dreamed about this moment for so long,” Clark said in a television interview immediately after winning. “There’s been so many times I’ve visualized winning championship. I just feel like it was my time.” Six weeks later, Clark is a major champion after carding a 70 on Sunday, good for 10-under par overall while McIlroy was second at 9-under. Clark, making his sixth major start with his previous best finish being tied for 75th, came into the tournament as the 32nd-ranked player in the world. But he withstood pushes from McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler .
After starting fast , Clark weathered bogeys on the 8th, 15th and 16th to win the championship. McIlroy didn’t fade, but Clark minimized the damage when he did get into trouble. Clark parred the final two holes to secure the win.
