Your 2023 US Open Champion is Wyndham Clark, after an even par 70 to finish the tournament at -10 from LACC. 

as.com

Ricky Fowler was witness to Clark's major winning round, and had this to say to the Colorado native after the 18th. Clark lost his mother when he was 19, and was visibly emotional after wrapping up his first win. 

as.com

He said he had to play cocky before the tournament, and he took that into the post round interview. With that medal around his neck, he can be as cocky as he wants. 

as.com

Take a look back at this fantastic round from your 123rd US Open Champion. 

as.com

It has been a long road for Wyndham Clark, but the 29 year old is playing the best golf of his life. After his first Tour win back in May, he is now a major champion.

as.com

He would miss his approach on 17 to the left of the green, but still went up and down for par and on 18 his drive just held on to the right side of the fairway and an icy second shot put him on the dancing floor for a two putt birdie to win the 123rd US Open, and his first major championship. 

as.com

It would be far from smooth sailing for Clark to end his round, going bogey-bogey on 15 and 16 to go into the final holes with just a one shot lead. 

as.com

With the rest of the pack falling behind, it was Clark who came up with one of the shots of the day on 14. He split the green front bunkers and bounced it on to the green with his second shot for a two putt birdie. 

as.com

Clark made shots like this look routine even after getting himself into dangerous positions. He missed the Green on the Par 3 11th, but almost cupped it for birdie. 

as.com

Things got a little shaky for Clark on 8, when he hit his shot into the thick feskew and took a hack and missed the ball completely. His second shot went over the green and into the rough but a cool up and down to save bogey might have saved his round. 

as.com

It was Clark's short game that bailed him out time and time again in a round in which he would play far from perfect golf. This birdie on 6 could have very easily turned into a bogey. 

as.com

Threre weren't many hitting shots like these late in the day. The course at LACC played tough, but Clark played with all sorts of confidence and told reporters he was going to come into this week and "play cocky." That's exactly what he did even on Sunday when all the pressure in the world was rested on his shoulders. 

as.com

Wyndham got started with a birdie on the opening hole, but despite the quick start things would not be as easy for the first time major champion. 

as.com

After bogeys on 15 and 16, Clark finished Sunday with two straight pars to win his first major at the age of 29. 

You're 123rd US Open Champion: Wyndham Clark!

as.com

There were some patchy moments late on, which just goes to show how hard it is to close out a major championship. Clark's lead went from three to one but he held off Rory McIlroy for his first career major. 

as.com

This was the shot of the day from Clark who split the rough on each side and reached the green in two on the Par 5 14.

Clark's drive on the the final hole found the fairway. He's three shots away from his first major. 

as.com

Another fantastic chip from Clark gives him a great chance for par on 17.

Rory hits the green, but he won't be ecstatic with that approach and he's got a long way to go to draw level with Clark. 

as.com

Clark misses the 17 green

Clark's drive on 17 couldn't have been better, and from 186 out he pulled it left of the green. He has a decent look at the pin but he's got some work to do to save par.

McIrloy's drive on 18 is perfect. Right down the center and he will have a chance to go at the pin, needing birdie on his last hole. 

as.com

Rory one back with one to go

McIlroy drove his tee shot into the adjacent fairway but got a good look to the green and hit his second shot to the back of the green. He came close to the cup, and putts in for par after a disappointing drive.

Shot of the day from Clark!

After Clark drove it into the bunker on 16 his chips out and his third shot couldn't have been any better. That was the most important shot of the day and he stuck it to within 5 feet! He's got that for par. 

as.com

This was Clark's second on the Par 5 14th. He finished with birdie and had a three shot lead, but things have been a little shaky since. He had bogey on 15, and is in trouble on 16. 

as.com

McIlory stays alive with a par on 16

Things are getting interesting in the final few holes from LA. Who would have guessed, that there is drama in Hollywood on Sunday?

Clark with only bogey all day at 15

Clark missed the green, but was in the second cut on 15. His short game has been on point all week, but he left himself with some work to do for par. From 9 feet out, he misses the cup after a late break to the left. He drops to -11, two above McIlroy heading into the 15th. 

Fowler taps in for par after just missing his birdie putt, and that will surely do it for him at -7 barring any late round collapses from Clark and McIlory.

Clark moves to three strokes up!

Clark snuck his eagle putt within a foot and the Colorado native leads by three after a birdie on the Par 5 14th. He is -12, three shots ahead of McIlroy with four holes to go!

Par for Rory on the short 15th

Rory had another chance at birdie on the short Par 3 15, but again leaves his putt just high of the hole. He has just one one-putt on the day and that might be what makes the difference today. 

as.com

Clark, calm under pressure

What a shot from Clark to reach the green in two on the Par 5 14th! He snuck it right in between the rough at the front of the green and has a great chance to birdie, if not eagle. 

as.com

Rory bogeys 14

McIlroy drops a shot after getting a break after missing the green, but getting a big break. His chip left his 12 feet for par, and he left it above the hole for his first bogey of the day. 

He's -9 after 14, and Clark is in prime position right behind him at -11. 

as.com

Big break for Rory

Rory's third shot on the Par 5 hit the lip of the bunker and was embedded in the grass, so he gets a free drop and but will still have to do so from the rough. He's looking to get up and down for par with Clark watching everything that's going on just behind him. 

as.com

Smith finishes at -6

Cam Smith is the leader in the house at -6 after going three under on the final nine. It's unlikely to worry the leader but a great finish from the 2022 Open Champion. 

as.com

Clark two putt to save par on 13

Clark drove it into the rough of 13 and reached the green with his second shot. He had a great lag from 60 feet away he's in with a par. Big two putt from a long way away to stay in the lead at -11 going into the Par 5 14. 

Fowler parred to stay at -6 heading into the final five holes. He's going to have to attack the Par 5 if he wants to get back into the mix late in the final round.

as.com

Scheffler's birdie, too little too late?

Scheffler with a rare birdie on the day, and it came from almost 60 feet away! He's going to need to run the table from here on out, but that's a start. He's -6, five back of the leader Clark. 

McIlroy played it safe on 13, and left his birdie putt short from 40 feet out. He makes another par for 12 straight and stays one back of Clark. 

as.com

Clark has rarely found himself in trouble today, but when he has he's played great shots to keep him in the lead. 

as.com

Fowler falls farther back

Fowler found the rough on the short Par 4 12th and had to lay up before going after the tough pin placement at the front of the green. He played a beautiful chip but he didn't play the right to left break enough and drops another shot. He's four over on the day and -6 for the week.

Clark smacked his drive which left him with under 100 to the pin but a heavy chip left him a lot of work to do for birdie. He lined up about 20 feet wide of the cup, and put it to within a foot for par. 

He stays at -11, one above McIlroy with seven holes to go. 

as.com

Rory pars 12, Scheffler might be out of contention 

Rory did just about as well as you could do on the Par 4 12th. The pin placement is nearly impossible to get a birdie, but he almost curled in his birdie putt right into the cup. That's another par for McIlroy, his 11th straight since a birdie on one

Scheffler left himself a bit of work with a four foot par putt, and he misses it for a bogey. That might be it for the world No. 1. He's -6 going into the final six holes. 

as.com

Fowler drops another shot

Huge bunker shot from Fowler on the Par 3 eleventh. He was put in a tough shot just like Scheffler was just a moment ago, but tucked it close to the pin.

Clark missed the green as well, but almost cupped it from the fringe. He hits the 8 footer for par to stay at -11, a stroke ahead of McIlroy. 

as.com

Rory misses another birdie attempt

Rory left his tee shot on the Par 3 eleventh high of the hole and had a downhill putt that was very makable, but left it a few inches short of the hole. He needs to start making a couple of those putts if he is going to break his winless streak at a major. He stays at -10 after the par. 

Scheffler found the green front bunker, and had a great chip out to give him a chance for par, but his putt ends up high of the hole and he drops another shot. He's back to -6 and it might be to hefty of a comeback to make in the final seven holes. 

as.com

Clark, Fowler start back nine with pars

Clark smacked his drive on 10 and had less than 100 yards to the pin. His approach hit the green, but he was still left with a 12 footer.
