Clark is at 14 under after back-to-back rounds of 65 at TPC Sawgrass, continuing his meteoric rise up the PGA Tour ranks.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The leader of the 50th Players Championship stepped to the tee box at the 18th hole at TPC Sawgrass late Friday morning, staring dead in the face one of the most difficult par 4s this place has to offer. Swing the big stick, right? Nah. Brian Harman had a driver in his hands. Collin Morikawa took a wood. Wyndham Clark, the man flashing atop the leaderboard some 450 yards away, had a 4-iron.
— PGA TOUR Watching how Clark worked his way around the course Friday, though, handling whatever TPC Sawgrass threw at him, it became clear that my hesitancy to embrace him was rooted in how different his story and game are from so many of his peers. That’s the point, though. It’s a feature, not a bug. Wyndham Clark is great because he is Wyndham Clark, not a guy cosplaying as someone he’s not. He hits an iron even if you’re hitting a driver. No big deal.
