Yet with the tournament virtually wrapped up, the American still chose to attack the pin on the closing hole. The aggressive decision paid off spectacularly as he fired his approach to within three feet, putting the finishing touch on one of the best rounds of his career.
The 2023 U.S. Open champion closed with a remarkable 11-under-par 60, becoming the first player in PGA Tour history to claim two victories with a final-round 60.
Starting Sunday tied with world No. 1 and hometown favourite Scottie Scheffler, Clark quickly shifted the momentum in his favour.
He surged past both Scheffler and overnight leader Si Woo Kim, eventually securing a comfortable three-shot victory.
Clark’s final-round performance was built on a red-hot putter. He holed an astonishing 158 feet of putts, a dramatic contrast to previous tournaments where even short-range opportunities seemed fraught with danger.
His charge gathered pace on the back nine, where he carded a blistering 28 to separate himself from the field and capture the fourth PGA Tour title of his career.
It was a display of fearless golf, highlighted by clutch putting and relentless attacking play. Clark never looked content to simply protect his lead.
Instead, he continued to chase birdies until the very end, a mindset that ultimately defined his victory.
Still, one moment on the ninth hole caught my attention for all the wrong reasons. The behaviour had shades of Patrick Cantlay, and for me, that is rarely a compliment.
