Wyndham Clark held off a strong chasing pack to win his first Major Championship title at Los Angles Country Club on Sunday. Despite going up against world number one Scottie Scheffler and four-time Major champion Rory McIlroy on the final day, Clark his nerve to lift the US Open trophy - and a number of players were quick to heap praise on the 29-year-old from Denver. 

Justin Thomas may have missed the cut by a distance and be struggling with his own game, but the former world number one took to Twitter to congratulate the "very deserving champ", adding that he is "one of golf's next biggest faces." Billy Horschel, meanwhile, was equally impressed, saying that it was "cool to see him fulfilling his potential." 

One of the coolest messages came from tennis legend Chris Evert, who said that watching Clark down the stretch was "really, really cool to watch." Here's how social media reacted to Clark's memorable US Open victory in LA.
