Wyndham Clark won the U.S. Open on Sunday and, like her many years on Instagram have taught her, his girlfriend Emily Tanner was in the right place at the right time. She ran up to him on the 18th green at Shinnecock and celebrated the win with him.
It was Clark’s second U.S. Open win in the last four years. His first after she served as his “good luck charm” at the Masters Par Three Contest earlier this year.

After sealing the win over the weekend, he didn’t have to look for her. The moment wasn’t too big for Tanner, who has been on the Screencaps radar for a while now. That radar is a great place to be if you’re on Instagram, like she is, doing your thing too.
It was mentioned in Screencaps on Saturday that she deserved to be given some credit for recharging the 32-year-old’s batteries and assisting him back into the win column. It was also predicted by Joe that she was on the verge of becoming golf’s next star.

That prediction has come true. A simple Google search of Emily Tanner’s name will prove that. She helped him get back in the win column before this past weekend when she became an official PGA Tour golf girlfriend by making her TV debut after his CJ Cup Byron Nelson win.

What a weekend on and off the course. What a few months, for that matter. Tanner’s gone from good luck charm at Augusta National to U.S. Open champ with another win sprinkled in the mix for fun.
Wyndham Clark might be back, and his girlfriend is a star. Good luck slowing these two down this summer.
