Amateur career
Clark attended Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, where he was a classmate of NFL player Christian McCaffrey. In high school, he twice won the Colorado state golf championship and was named player of the year in 2011. He initially enrolled at Oklahoma State in 2012, finishing in a tie for ninth place in stroke play at the 2013 U.S. Amateur. He transferred to Oregon in 2016, winning the Pac-12 conference championship and GolfWeek Player of the Year.[3] He graduated with a business degree in 2017.[4]
Professional career
Clark finished in a tie for 23rd at Web.com Tour qualifying in 2017, earning his card for the 2018 season. He made 24 starts that season, with four top-10 finishes. By finishing 16th on the tour money list, he qualified for the PGA Tour for the 2018–19 season.[5]
Clark finished second at the Bermuda Championship in 2020, losing a playoff to PGA Tour veteran Brian Gay.[6]
In May 2023, Clark recorded his first PGA Tour victory at the Wells Fargo Championship. He beat Xander Schauffele by four shots.[7]
On June 18, 2023, Clark carded an even-par final round of 70 to win the 2023 U.S. Open at the Los Angeles Country Club, beating Rory McIlroy by one stroke and collecting $3.6 million with the win.[8][9] Clark won in his 7th career major start, where his previous best finish was a tie for 75th.[10]
From September 29 to October 1, 2023, Clark competed in the 2023 Ryder Cup. The U.S. team lost the Ryder Cup to the European team by a score of 161⁄2 to 111⁄2 at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club northeast of Rome. Clark went 1−1−1, losing his singles match to Robert MacIntyre, 2 up.
In February 2024, Clark shot a course-record and career-low round of 60 at Pebble Beach on his way to winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am by one stroke over Ludvig Åberg. The tournament was called after 54 holes due to inclement weather.[11]
