Of course, the 32-year-old has had an incredible run with a second US Open win, as well as a victory at The CJ CUP Byron Nelson before that. <\/p>\n<p> If you had $1m, would you put it on Jordan Spieth missing or making the cut this week? <\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/split-screen-news-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-121186\"\/>   <\/p>\n<p>He does arguably have some unfinished business at the Rocket Classic. <\/p>\n<p>Wyndham Clark reacts to the redesign at Detroit Golf Club ahead of the Rocket Classic<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hitc.com\/topic\/wyndham-clark\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"98649\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wyndham Clark<\/a> returned to the event last season after three years away. He had previously registered two top 20 finishes in three starts at Detroit Golf Club. <\/p>\n<p>However, a 74 on Friday 12 months ago meant that Clark missed the cut despite still being four under par at the halfway stage. <\/p>\n<p>Clark\u2019s girlfriend is from the region, so it is no surprise that he is in the field once again this year. <\/p>\n<p>And he will be hoping that the <a href=\"https:\/\/golfweek-eu.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/golf\/pga\/2026\/07\/23\/detroit-golf-club-restoration-for-final-rocket\/91020227007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">$16 million redesign<\/a> plays to his strengths. Clark certainly seemed to be a fan when asked about the changes in his press conference. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/GettyImages-2286495971-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Wyndham Clark celebrates a birdie during the second round of The Open Championship\" \/>Photo by Charlie Crowhurst\/R&amp;A\/R&amp;A via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always enjoyed coming here. Now I have a little more of a family relationship here, my girlfriend\u2019s from this area so that makes it really fun, kind of a home week it feels like,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>MORE WYNDHAM CLARK STORIES<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then the change in the golf course is amazing. It\u2019s actually kind of sad that we\u2019re not coming back next year. This is one of the best redos I\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey made it longer, they made it tougher. Obviously aesthetically I think it\u2019s beautiful with the contrast between all the great green grass and then the amazing fescue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike I said, it\u2019s one of the best redos I\u2019ve seen maybe ever in golf course design. So good for him on doing an amazing job, and the membership. Yeah, unfortunately a bummer that we\u2019re not coming back next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why Wyndham Clark should feel reasonably confident about a third PGA Tour win this season<\/p>\n<p>Of course, a victory for Clark this week would probably not come as a huge surprise at all. <\/p>\n<p>He has been in excellent form, with The Open Championship being the first time he has finished outside the top 13 in any event since his victory at TPC Craig Ranch. <\/p>\n<p>And obviously, there are some similarities with TPC Craig Ranch this week, with that golf course just outside Dallas also undergoing a renovation in the months before the tournament. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefriedegg.com\/articles\/pga-tour-cj-cup-renovation-wyndham-clark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">$25 million<\/a> investment did not do a lot to the scoring \u2013 Clark\u2019s 30 under par total was one shot worse than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hitc.com\/topic\/scottie-scheffler\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"98399\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Scottie Scheffler<\/a>\u2018s winning score the previous year \u2013 but Clark will hope that success in Texas bodes well for the coming days. <\/p>\n<p>Join Our Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Receive exclusive football transfer news and updates twice a week to your mailbox<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover Wyndham Clark has admitted that he is disappointed that the PGA Tour will&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":717908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,8693,237092,101,56,54,55,7132],"class_list":["post-717907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-pga-tour","tag-rocket-classic","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wyndham-clark"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=717907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/717908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=717907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=717907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=717907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
