Wyndham Clark was the one player tipped to deny a fairy tale ending to the 123rd US Open – and that’s how it turned out. It would have been quite emotional to see Rickie Fowler win his first Major after enduring such a difficult few years, and the same could be said of Rory McIlroy, who remains stuck on four Major titles, his last coming at the PGA Championship nine years ago.
However, US Opens are always emotional, especially with Father’s Day usually falling on the final day – and this year was no different. For Clark, it was his late mother who was at the forefront of his mind, the American admitting that she would be “crying tears of joy” had she been there to witness her son winning his first Major Championship title.
