Wyndham Clark dedicates US Open title to late mother in heart-warming victory speech

US Open winner Wyndham Clark paid tribute to his late mother after outlasting Rory McIlroy to claim his maiden major title.

Clark, 29, was considered the underdog coming into the final round, despite entering play as the overnight leader alongside fellow American Rickie Fowler. However, as Fowler faltered, the then world number 32 edged McIlroy by one stroke.

For Clark, this is only his second PGA Tour win and comes just over a month after winning his first, the Wells Fargo Championship. The Scottsdale, Arizona native had never made the cut at the US Open before triumphing this year.
