Wyndham Clark Player Profile And What's In The Bag

Article Updated - February 2024

US Open champion Wyndham Clark won a weather-affected AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. After a third round of 60 he was on 17 under par after 54 holes and that proved to be good enough when tournament organisers decided not to ask the players to return on Monday. 

It was Clark’s third win and his incredible third round will live long in the memory. As the birdie putts continued to fall, the anticipation heightened - and he was well aware. He had an eagle putt for 59 but left it just short, and the crowd rose for a standing ovation after he tapped in for 60.

He said: “It was kind of surreal; it really felt like I won the tournament with that two-putt even though it was a Saturday,” Clark said on Sunday evening after the victory was made official. “I think that was because I broke the course record. Everyone gave me a standing ovation. It honestly felt like the end of the tournament and that's what made yesterday so unique and weird because I would have thought that it was Sunday. So that's what made today and all of last night very unique; it felt like I won the tournament yet I still had one more round.”

“Coming down 16, 17, 18 at Pebble Beach it felt like a Sunday … The stands were full, the fans were there, the buzz was there, the feelings were there, the nerves were there,” Clark said of his final few holes Saturday.

“Walking as I come to the green, I got a standing ovation and everyone was giving me the respect for having such a great round. Then to almost shoot 59 but to shoot 60 and break the course record … when I shook hands and waved to the crowd, it really felt like I just done won the tournament, so I don't feel like I got cheated at all.”

However, Ludvig Aberg, who finished second, one behind Clark, may well feel cheated as he missed the opportunity to record his second PGA Tour success.
