Up by 5 in BMW, Wyndham Clark knows how nervy it is to hold big leads on Sunday
Wyndham Clark held a six-shot lead in the U.S Open this year and won by one, and now he's trying to keep his wide margin in the BMW Championship
The BMW Championship saw Wyndham Clark maintain a five-stroke lead heading into the final round at Bellerive Country Club. Despite a double bogey on the first hole and a bogey on the last, Clark's remarkable putting, including 139 feet of putts, led to a five-under par 65 and a total score of 193. This performance surpassed the scores of reigning U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy and Patrick Cantlay, who have each won the event twice.
Clark, who has had a comeback season after initial struggles, could secure the PGA Tour Player of the Year award with a third win, joining Chris Gotterup and Matt Fitzpatrick. McIlroy, who also shot 65, conceded that his earlier statement about Scottie Scheffler securing the PGA Tour Player of the Year award might have been premature.
Clark is also determined to secure a spot on the U.S. Presidents Cup team. He entered the week in seventh place and has previously led by six strokes in the U.S. Open before winning.
