After his now-infamous meltdown at Oakmont in 2025 (the one that involved damaging two extremely old wooden lockers), everyone wanted to paint Wyndham Clark as the villain at this year's U.S. Open.
But Clark seemed to know he was on somewhat of a redemption tour, and wisely kept his cool day in and day out, even as the crowd at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club booed and chirped him to an uncouth extent (seriously; those guys were the losers of the week). Better yet, Clark had the last laugh in the end. Because not only did he play fabulously all tournament long, when he took the typically tough Long Island course to task, but he also won it all, and is now one of just 24 golfers to raise that coveted major trophy more than once.
