Wyndham Clark got a fitting present after winning the U.S. Open on Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 32-year-old survived a serious scare as he watched his six-stroke lead entering Sunday slip away at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y. Clark outlasted Sam Burns by one stroke to win his second U.S. Open, joining an elite shortlist of multi-time winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As he celebrated the winning putt to seal his victory, Clark spotted a familiar face ready to hug him \u2014 his father, Randall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Clark father and son embraced on the decisive 72nd hole. Randall took a red-eye flight from Denver to surprise Wyndham. Randall brought the energy, while Wyndham looked like he was just happy to have his pops present for Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat was a shock,\u201d Clark said,\u00a0via\u00a0Dan Treacy of the Sporting News. \u201cIn \u201923 he wasn\u2019t there, which was unfortunate, so for him to be here in person is really amazing. Happy Father\u2019s Day, Pops. I love you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wyndham Clark has opened up about his complicated relationship with his dad in the past and how he used to dislike having Randall attend his tournaments. The two have grown closer together after Wyndham\u2019s mother died from cancer in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The U.S. Open gallery was not exactly warm toward Clark throughout the tournament, with many backing Scottie Scheffler\u2019s failed bid at a career grand slam. Randall Clark gave his son at least one more friendly face in the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
