The Valor Christian High School grad participated in the first day of golf competition at the Paris Olympics.
PARIS, France — Former University of Oregon golfer Wyndham Clark placed 56th on the first day of the 2024 Olympic men’s individual stroke play on Thursday, tied for second to last.
Clark shot a 75 in his Olympic debut. Team USA teammates Scottie Scheffler placed 6th, Collin Morikawa tied for 30th and Xander Schauffele 2nd.
Clark spent only one year with the Ducks after spending four years at Oklahoma State where he was redshirted his freshman year.
Clark was named Pac-12 Player of the Year with Oregon, then turned pro where he has three wins on the PGA Tour, including the U.S. Open in 2023. Clark is currently ranked No. 5 in the world.
This is not Clark’s first time representing the U.S. on the international stage. He was on the 2023 Ryder Cup Team along with Scheffler and Morikawa as well as Justin Thomas and Jordan Speith.
The next round of men’s individual stroke play is Friday and continues until Sunday, Aug. 4 where it will be narrowed down for the medal day.
