He’s a great shot maker, an excellent putter, and plays a controlled fade off the tee that keeps him out of trouble. Lot of golf left today, so it’s still wide open…..and Rory and Scheffler are knocking at the door.

Both Clark and Fowler hung in there today on a course playing much more difficult with the June Gloom having disappeared. 

 

Scheffler made a nice late run to get into contention. Should be a great battle today. I have the feeling that someone could be the clubhouse leader out of the 5 or 6 last groups and hang on for the win.

 

Go Clarkie! This would be a like-altering win in front of fellow Duck and announcer Petter 'Jake' Jacobsen. Clark would be the 1st Duck to win the US Open and I don't believe that any Oregon golfer has won one of the Majors.

Wyndham Clark wins US Open; becomes first Oregon Duck to win PGA major championship

 

Wyndham Clark, a former Oregon Duck great, won his first-ever major championship at the U.S. Open in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon, outlasting Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler — two of the top three ranked players in the world.

 

Clark is now the first Oregon Duck to ever win a major championship on the PGA Tour.

Twitter Reactions: Wyndham Clark becomes first Oregon Duck to win major championship

 

Earlier this year, former Oregon Duck Wyndham Clark broke through at long last on the PGA Tour, winning his first career professional tournament at the Wells Fargo Championship.

 

When the winning putt dropped, the Oregon alumnus celebrated on Twitter, and the golf world went crazy for Wyndham, a player who has been grinding at the professional ranks for years, and finally saw it culminate in a major win.

 

Here are some of the best reactions on social media.

The winning putt dropped, and Oregon fans went wild for Wyndham Clark’s US Open win on Sunday evening.

Wyndham has $3,6M reasons to be happy today, The last time the Open was played in LA  in 1948, the champion won $10,000.00😂

 

Plus, he's in the US Open field for the next decade and in all of the major tournament fields for the next 3 years. 

 

OT - Christian McCaffery was a high school classmate of Wyndham's in Denver and they are very good friends.

Beautiful back story on his mom and her impact on him as he worked to get where he is.

Wyndham Clark’s first major championship victory came on Father’s Day and served as a tribute to his mom, who died of breast cancer in 2013.

Incredible! I always thought Aaron would be the first Duck to do it. But, super happy for Clark!

What a great ambassador for Oregon. Humble and articulate in all of his post-win interviews. In the post-win press conference, he went out of his way to thank Casey Martin for getting him mentally back on track and getting his golf game back on track.
