American Wyndham Clark claimed a first PGA Tour title with victory at the Wells Fargo Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Clark, 29, started the final round with a two-shot lead at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And he followed up Saturday’s 63 with a three-under 68 to finish on 19 under and four shots clear of compatriot Xander Schauffele.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s been a long five years to get to this point, it was well worth the wait and I’m so grateful,” Clark said.<\/span><\/p>\n

England’s Tyrrell Hatton, who had shared the halfway lead, was tied third on 12 under with American Harris English.<\/span><\/p>\n

England’s Tommy Fleetwood was a shot further back alongside Adam Scott of Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clark lost his two-shot advantage in the first three holes and trailed Schauffele after seven holes.<\/span><\/p>\n

But he pulled away on the back nine, leading by five at one stage, and could even afford to bogey the final hole.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think in years past I might have folded,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This time I just stayed patient and hung in there and got hot on the back side.”<\/span><\/p>\n

He has enjoyed five top-10 finishes this season but had never won in 133 events on the tour before Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

His previous best showing was a play-off loss to Brian Gay at the Bermuda Championship in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There’s so many times I wanted to cry and break clubs – and I did break the club sometimes – in this journey and to get to this point is so sweet,” Clark said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s just amazing to finally do this.”<\/span><\/p>\n
