The PGA Tour has seen a new champion crowned at the Wells Fargo Championship, with South African golfer Tim Clark securing his first victory on the tour.
Clark, who had been a professional since 1997, had come close to winning on several occasions but had never been able to break through and secure a victory. That all changed at the Wells Fargo Championship, where Clark shot a final round 66 to finish at 13-under par for the tournament and secure a one-stroke victory over American Bill Haas.
The win was especially sweet for Clark, who had been dealing with a nagging elbow injury for much of the season. Despite the injury, Clark was able to stay focused and play some of his best golf of the year. He was particularly impressive on the back nine, where he birdied four of his last five holes to finish strong and secure the victory.
The win was also a big moment for South African golf, as it was the first time a South African had won on the PGA Tour since Louis Oosthuizen won the 2010 British Open. It was also the first time a South African had won on American soil since Ernie Els won the 2010 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
The win was also a big moment for Clark personally, as it was his first win on the PGA Tour since he won the 2008 Players Championship. It was also his first win since he underwent elbow surgery in 2011.
The Wells Fargo Championship victory is sure to be a career-defining moment for Clark, and it will no doubt give him the confidence he needs to continue to compete at the highest level. It is also a great moment for South African golf, and it will hopefully inspire more South African golfers to pursue their dreams of competing on the PGA Tour.
