Hey golf fans,

Wyndham Clark labeled his last season perhaps “the worst” of his career. He handed this year a more positive label. If you compare them both, it makes sense. But hold on… Clark went a step further and called himself “one of the world’s best” golfers. We have covered his statements, plus what made him claim so, and more.
