Wyndham Clark’s caddie, John Ellis, points to a career-defining intervention three years ago that laid the foundation for his US Open victory Sunday at Los Angeles Country Club.

Fowler has posted 12 top-10s in his majors career, the most recent at the 2021 PGA Championship, but how close was he to actually winning any of them, and how did they slip away?
