LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -American Wyndham Clark won the U.S. Open by one shot over Rory McIlroy at Los Angeles Country Club on Sunday to claim his first major title.

Clark sank a short par putt on 18 to finish the championship on 10-under par 270 behind an impressive display of power and precision.

World number one Scottie Scheffler was third at seven under while overnight co-leader Rickie Fowler faded early and had to settle for a share of fifth.
