Wyndham Clark shot 68 on Sunday for a four-shot victory over Xander Schauffele at the Wells Fargo Championship to earn his first career win on the PGA Tour.

The 29-year-old Clark struggled to hold back tears as he sank a bogey putt on the 18th hole to seal the win.

Clark finished at 19-under 265, the second-lowest score to par in tournament history. Rory McIlroy shot 21-under 267 in 2015 when Quail Hollow played as a par 72.

Schauffele had accuracy issues with his driver on Sunday and shot 70, finishing at 15 under.

Clark opened the final round with a two-shot lead, surrendered it to Schauffele after seven holes and then stormed back to win after playing the final 11 holes in 4 under.

Clark moved from No. 80 to No. 31 in the world ranking. He also earned a spot in The 151st Open at Royal Liverpool, along with Michael Kim and Denny McCarthy.
