Wyndham Clark ignores the haters to win the U.S. Open

Wyndham Clark ignored the haters to win the U.S. Open, securing his second title after battling Shinnecock Hills and a vocal New York gallery. Clark overcame a shaky final round to beat Sam Burns by one stroke on Sunday at Southampton’s iconic course. He finished at -4, and the victory marked the ninth wire-to-wire win in U.S. Open history. The report highlights Clark’s putting, noting he hit 50% of his putts from 20 to 25 feet, compared with a PGA Tour average of 12%. The article places the pressure in context: it describes crowd heckling during a tournament it says turned from a rout into a close contest. It also references past incidents involving Clark, including smashing a sign at the PGA Championship and a locker at the U.S. Open last year.
