The mistake would be thinking Wyndham Clark is some out-of-nowhere contender in a major. Because that would be missing what’s been happening underneath the surface all season. This moment has been coming, writes BrodyAMiller.
LOS ANGELES — He stormed off the golf course, hopped in the car and just drove. Wyndham Clark had no idea where he was going. Not with the car. Not with his career. Not without his mother, the person who brought golf into his life. The Oklahoma State golfer often left a qualifying event or tournament ready to quit the sport altogether. He stopped seeing this path as his own.
And as he plays for the win of his life, this supposedly random golfer who’s never finished better than 75th in a major and never even qualified for a Masters reminds himself of the message his mother, Lise, gave him before she died from breast cancer 10 years ago at age 55.The player and caddie were disagreeing on a shot Saturday while talking over a bunker. Clark walked up from his ball — deep in some Bermuda rough on the left side of the fairway on No.
He transferred to Oregon, where Ellis played a decade earlier, and became the Pac-12 golfer of the year and a Jack Nicklaus Award semifinalist. He was headed back in the right direction. He earned his PGA Tour card in 2019 and had a solid first season, highlighted by three consecutive top 20s.
