For Wyndham Clark to achieve his true golf potential, he had to re-wire himself.
He hired a sports psychologist to learn how to trade self-depreciation for relentless positivity. He ordered a duplicate of another pro’s putter to solve his inconsistencies on the green. And he firmly believed that just a few years removed from nearly losing his tour card, and a decade after losing his mom, it was his time to become a major champion.
Those were the new ingredients that allowed Clark to become the first Colorado native to win the U.S. Open last week in Los Angeles, and they’re why those closest to Clark believe the 29-year-old is emerging as a premium talent amid his breakout season on tour.
