Overview
- Clark won the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club to claim his first major and finished 10-under par to edge Rory McIlroy by one stroke.
- He told Dan Rapaport that he celebrated with about 40 to 50 friends and family, including drinking champagne from the trophy after it was engraved.
- Clark said he wore golf cleats to the restaurant Delilah after the win, which damaged a table and led to an invoice to cover the repair.
- The next morning Clark says he ate lox and bagels, began vomiting, tore the lining of his stomach, and spent about two to three hours in the hospital before leaving.
- Despite the hospital visit he flew to New York and completed scheduled media appearances such as Good Morning America, and there are no reports of ongoing health issues from the episode.
