The 2023 U.S. Open champion missed the cut in three of the four majors this year while battling injuries and said he's finally getting his swing back.
SAINT QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Three former U.S. Open champions are in the field for the men’s Olympic Golf Tournament. But not the most recent one.
It is under that backdrop that Clark arrived outside of Paris looking to get back to the form he showed earlier this year when he won at Pebble Beach and contended at both the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship—finishing second at both to Scottie Scheffler. “Then I've got to be honest, I've been very frustrated with how I played at the majors. I believe that I wasn't showing how good of a player I know I can be, and especially at highest level in the majors. But I've also got to look at how far I've come in two years. I'm fifth on the FedEx in back-to-back years and I've won multiple times and I have a lot of top finishes and I'm here at the Olympics.
Clark was never really in big danger on missing out on the Olympics. Despite his poor form in the majors, he had those high finishes at Bay Hill and the Players. He tied for third at the RBC Heritage. That pushed him high enough in the rankings that he was able to stay among the top four Americans through the U.S. Open.
“When I look at it and compare right where I am now to where I was in January and February and March, there's been a lot of big wins,” Morikawa said. “I've worked my ass off to get here and just because I made it doesn't mean it's over and doesn't mean I'm getting my paddles back. “Ever since the Masters, I haven't been able to get up to the speed that I normally have with driver and I've been hitting it a lot shorter,” Clark said. “It's been a lot of things where it led me down a path of, is it something in my swing, is it equipment, and then come full circle, we just realize now I'm a lot healthier, and maybe there was a couple equipment things.
