When I’m out there playing, I want to do that for her.”Clark conjured the memory in the wake of two consecutive stellar rounds at the national golf championship at Los Angeles Country Club.
He has steadily been climbing the world golf rankings with six top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour during the 2022-23 season.
Last month, he earned his first tour victory at the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, N.C., a milestone that Clark, now ranked 32nd in the world, said significantly bolstered his belief in himself.
In the months after the death of his mother, who had introduced him to golf as a toddler, Clark struggled on and off the course.
When he competed poorly, Clark would storm off the golf course and, he said, “just drive away as fast as I could, I didn’t even know where I was going.”
