CNN —“Play big.”For the last decade, American golfer Wyndham Clark has carried a two-word rule into every competition.
It’s an instruction left by his mother, Lise Clark, who died of breast cancer in 2013 while he was learning his trade at Oklahoma State University.
“When she was sick and I was in college, she told me, ‘Hey, play big,’” Clark told reporters after his second round on Friday.
So far, Clark's best-ever major finish was a top-75 finish at the PGA Championship in 2021.
Having missed the cut on both previous starts at the major, the Denver-born golfer is comfortably on course to beat his best-ever major finish, a top-75 finish at the PGA Championship in 2021.
