Wyndham Clark Shoots 60 to Win First Title Since 2024

After a tough 2025 season that saw him miss cuts and make frustrating headlines, 32-year-old golfer Wyndham Clark just reminded the world what he's capable of.

Clark won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas on Sunday, shooting an incredible 30-under par for the tournament. His final round of 60 was so dominant that he turned a two-shot deficit into a three-shot victory over Si Woo Kim.

The performance was even more remarkable than the scoreboard showed. On his final hole, Clark nearly holed his approach shot for eagle, which would have given him a 59. Only 15 players in PGA Tour history have ever broken 60 in competition.

Kim, who started the day with the lead, shot an impressive 65. But this was Clark's day to shine, not Kim's day to lose.

The win marks a powerful comeback for Clark, who hadn't won a 72-hole tournament since capturing the U.S. Open in 2023. Between 2023 and early 2024, the Denver native went from zero PGA Tour wins to three victories in less than a year, including that major championship.

But 2025 tested him. He posted just two top-10 finishes all season and missed the cut at several major tournaments. The frustration boiled over at the U.S. Open when he damaged a locker at Oakmont Country Club after missing the cut.

Why This Inspires

Clark's victory shows what resilience looks like in real time. Professional athletes face immense pressure when early success creates sky-high expectations. Clark experienced exactly that after his breakthrough 2023 season.

Instead of letting a difficult year define him, he kept working. His near-historic final round wasn't just about talent. It was about persistence through a season where nothing seemed to click.

The 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in June gives Clark his next chance to prove he belongs among golf's elite in the biggest moments.
