Los Angeles | Wyndham Clark always carried the message from his late mother to “play big”. Nothing was bigger than Sunday (Monday AEST) when he held off Rory McIlroy with one clutch shot after another to become a US Open champion.
The final act was two putts from 18 metres on the 18th hole at Los Angeles Country Club, and the 29-year-old Clark pumped his fist when it settled 30cm away. He tapped that in for an even-par 70 and a one-shot victory over McIlroy and so many other stars.
