LOS ANGELES — Wyndham Clark finally found the winner’s circle on the PGA Tour about five weeks ago.
Now, he’s got his sights set on his first major.
Clark, who won the Wells Fargo Championship in early May, shot a first-round 64 at Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course on Thursday to open his 2023 U.S. Open.
His first round 7-under 64 would normally be an outstanding start at a U.S. Open but this time, it was merely good for a tie for second alongside Dustin Johnson. Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele each opened with tournament-record 62s.
Nonetheless Clark is in a great spot to claim his first major championship. Here are some interesting factoids about the 29-year-old from Denver who was a high school classmate of San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey.
