LOS ANGELES — All week long, people were coming up to Wyndham Clark showing him pictures of his late mother, Lise, who lived in Los Angeles before her family moved to Colorado.

Clark, who was ranked 293rd in the Official World Golf Ranking a year ago and had never finished better than a tie for 75th in a major championship, held off Rory McIlroy, world No.

1 golfer Scottie Scheffler and Rickie Fowler in the final round to win the 123rd U.S. Open at the Los Angeles Country Club. Clark, from Denver, carded an even-par 70 on Sunday.
