WYNDHAM CLARK has thanked both of his parents for getting him into golf, revealing how his father Randall played a major role in him pursuing the sport.
The PGA tour star, who is rumoured to be dating Julia Kemmling, claimed the US Open on June 18, 2023, beating four-time major champion Rory McIlroy.
Who is Randall Clark?
Wyndham's father's full name is Robert Randall Clark but he goes by Randall Clark.
Since 2020 he has worked as the co-founder of a storage company but he was once a professional tennis player.
Unfortunately, his brief career in the sport came to an end due to an injury.

What has Wyndham Clark said about his dad?
Wyndham has credited his dad with being the driving force behind his love for golf.
His late mother, Lise, first introduced him to golf but Wyndham has said it was his dad who really helped cultivate his passion for the sport.
The two golfed together frequently when Wyndham was young.
At the 2023 US Open Wyndham said: "My mom first took me to play golf, but my dad was the one who really got me into golf.
"He picked it up just a few years prior to me starting at the age of three. Every time I’d go golf at a young age was with my dad."
He added: "There's so many memories of us leaving at 6am, our family on like a family vacation, and we'd play golf and come back before noon and that was the only way my mom would let us do that.
"There's a ton of memories. And then he took me to tournaments."
Wyndham also praised his father for giving him the qualities he has needed to achieve success in his career.
He said: "He instilled in me hard work and discipline and I feel like I get a lot of my fieriness from him.

Who was Wyndham Clark's mum Lise?
Wyndham's mother Lise married Randall, in April 1989 in Los Angeles, California.
The couple welcomed Wyndham, their second child, at the end of 1993 - three years after their daughter Kaitlin was born.
Wyndham and Katie's younger brother Brendan followed in 1997 and just six months later, Lise was diagnosed with breast cancer.
She was declared cancer free two years later but sadly, 14 years after her first diagnosis, Lise was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer in 2012.
Lise, who worked in advertising and marketing, died aged 55 in August 2013 at her home in Colorado.
Before her death she predicted Wyndham would one day be on the PGA tour and was a huge supporter of his golf career.
