Clark earned his first victory on the PGA Tour earlier this season
in the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. Although he’s not
the longest off the tee, Clark hits a ton of fairways and greens – a formula
that usually bodes well in major championships. Clark’s best finish in a
PGA Championship came with a third in 2003 at Oak Hill Country Club;
he finished tied for 16th in 2009 at Hazeltine National.
