Starting the day tied for the lead, Clark rebounded from an opening-hole double bogey to fire six birdies and an eagle on hole eight. The double US Open winner finished at 17-under, eclipsing the competition. Rory McIlroy and Patrick Cantlay shared second place, both tied at 12-under, while Scottie Scheffler fell to five-under after a 68. The American's hot performance was made all the more impressive given his early struggles.",
