Watch: US Open Champion Wyndham Clark celebrates win by chugging out of the trophy

Wyndham Clark celebrated his historic US Open win by chugging out the trophy later on Sunday, June 18.

Clark, who was a joint 54-hole leader, carded 70 in the final round of the US Open 2023, beating Rory McIlroy by a single-stroke margin. It was truly a remarkable victory considering how he overcame the challenges given by McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, and Scottie Scheffler.

The 29-year-old golfer celebrated his first major victory by chugging out the US Open trophy. In the video posted by NUCLR Golf, Clark can be seen drinking from the US Open Cup. After drinking, he raises the cup and screams loudly before hugging his friend standing beside him.

Clark bagged $3.6 million for his win at LACC and also jumped to a career-best World No. 13 in the Original World Golf Rankings.

"She’d be crying tears of joy" - Wyndham Clark remembers his mother after winning the 2023 US Open

Wyndham Clark celebrated with his brother after making the winning putt at the 123rd US Open Championship

After winning the US Open, Wyndham Clark remembered his mother, Lise Clark, who passed away in 2013 due to breast cancer. He said his mother would be watching him and would be proud of him.

Clark was quoted as saying via the Western Telegraph:

"She was so positive and such a motivator in what she did. She’d be crying tears of joy. She called me winner when I was little. When she was sick and I was in college, she told me, 'Hey, play big. Play for something bigger than yourself. You have a platform to either witness or help or be a role model for so many people.'

"I know she’d be proud of me," he added. "I feel like I have worked so hard and dreamed about this moment for long. So many times I’ve visualized being here in front of you guys winning this championship."

For the uninitiated, the victory at Los Angeles Golf Club was Clark's second victory of the season. Both wins have come at the big events. His first win came at the Wells Fargo Championship in May.
