Wyndham Clark turned the CJ Cup Byron Nelson into a Sunday ambush, closing with an 11-under 60 to win at TPC Craig Ranch and bury a leaderboard that looked ready for Si Woo Kim or Scottie Scheffler.
Clark finished at 30-under, three shots ahead of Kim and five clear of Scheffler. It was his fourth PGA Tour victory, his first win since the weather-shortened 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and his first 72-hole title since the 2023 U.S. Open.

The round was ridiculous. Clark shot 28 on the back nine with five birdies and an eagle, producing the lowest final round by a winner on Tour this season. Only David Duval and Stuart Appleby, who each closed with 59s, have gone lower in PGA Tour history while winning.
Clark began the final round two shots behind Kim, playing one group ahead of Kim and Scheffler. He started pressing early, making a 23-foot birdie putt on No. 2 before rattling off three straight birdies from Nos. 4-6.
Kim fought back hard. The Dallas-area resident, who led after 36 and 54 holes, made six birdies in his first 12 holes and finished the week with 33 birdies, just one shy of the PGA Tour record for a single tournament. But Clark’s putter went nuclear at the perfect time.
The turning point came late. Clark drove the short par-4 14th and made birdie, then buried a 45-footer on the par-3 15th to take the lead outright. Another 12-foot birdie near the finish gave him breathing room and effectively ended the fight.
Clark made 13 putts from outside 10 feet during the week and rolled in 450 feet of putts overall, with more than a third of that total coming on Sunday.
Scheffler finished third at 25-under, extending his winless streak to 10 starts despite another strong result. The world No. 1 never found enough wedge precision to seriously threaten late.

Blades Brown, who turned 19 during the week, tied for 14th at 18-under and earned special temporary PGA Tour membership. Brooks Koepka also tied for 14th, while Jordan Spieth finished tied for 19th after a wild week that included a 62, a 73 and a closing 66.
But this belonged to Clark.
One 60. One trophy. One massive statement.
