ST. LOUIS - Wyndham Clark (1st/-12), for the first time in his career (210th start), played without a bogey through 36 holes and is the only player in the field without a bogey.
It’s his seventh 36-hole lead/co-lead in individual stroke-play events and he’s 2-for-6 converting (2023 Truist Championship, 2026 U.S. Open) to victory.
Clark is seeking to become the first player to win the U.S. Open and BMW Championship in the same season since Dustin Johnson (2016).
In his career, Clark has (5) PGA TOUR wins: 2023 Truist Championship, 2023 U.S. Open, 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, 2026 CJ CUP Byron Nelson, 2026 U.S. Open
He currently leads the field in Scrambling (5/5) and Sand Saves (3/3; T1) and is now projected No. 3 in the FedEx Cup standings in attempt to advance to the TOUR Championship for the third time (2023/3rd, 2024/8th).
Clark’s best finish in four prior starts at the BMW Championship is a T13/2024.
