Clark won his first major championship at the Los Angeles Country Club. The golfing world provided plenty of heartfelt reactions.
With the entire golfing world watching, Wyndham Clark captured his first major championship at the 123rd U.S. Open at the Los Angeles Country Club.
Clark shot an even-par 70 Sunday. He stayed even-keeled throughout the round and finished one stroke ahead of Rory McIlroy, perhaps the most popular player on the planet and one of the greatest golfers of his generation.

Luke Donald, the Ryder Cup captain, has criticised the US Golf Association (USGA) after Gordon Sargent, the leading amateur, saw a putt at the US Open bounce out of the hole.
Twitter exploded Sunday afternoon when the bombshell news broke that the Wizards were trading star shooting guard Bradley Beal to the Suns to form the NBA’s newest superteam. Many of the reactions indicated shock, but Trail Blazers big man Jusuf Nurkić found it hilarious and took the opportunity to take a shot at Kevin Durant.
“Brooklyn situation all all over again,” Nurkić wrote on Twitter with a laughing emoji.
The Portland center is referencing Durant’s collaboration with Kyrie Irving and James Harden that ultimately crashed out burned.

Ja Morant is in the endgame.
Ja Morant was suspended 25 games by the National Basketball Association on Friday. The league has made it clear that Ja’s behavior is “destructive” and the union for the players has stated that the suspension was “excessive”. Perhaps there will be an appeal. Perhaps there won’t. Maybe Ja has grounds to win such a process with an independent arbitrator.
Valor Christian High School was well represented Sunday when Wyndham Clark won his first major championship at the U.S. Open and earned praise from another famous alum. San Francisco 49ers Pro Bowl running back Christian McCaffrey took to Instagram after the tournament and gave his former classmate some love after the big win.
“That Boy!” McCaffrey wrote on his Instagram story.
The 27-year-old tailback reposted several things about Clark on his Instagram story after the victory.
Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan have gone from being arguably the greatest duo in NBA history to rivals over the last few years, specifically since the release of ‘The Last Dance.’ The rivalry, however, appears to be a one-way street manned by Pippen, and the legendary Bill Walton doesn’t understand it.
Pippen didn’t appreciate the way he was portrayed in ‘The Last Dance’ and has piggybacked off that unfortunate experience ever since.

Here’s our latest NBA mock draft.
There are a few things we know for sure about the 2023 NBA Draft. Victor Wembanyama is going No. 1 overall to the San Antonio Spurs. The New Orleans Pelicans want G League Ignite point guard Scoot Henderson, but they would have to trade into the top-three to get him. Damian Lillard would probably like the Portland Trail Blazers to trade their No. 3 overall pick for a veteran star, but the front office can’t make a shortsighted deal when it has a chance to add a premier young talent.
