Wyndham Clark's recent run has elevated him to a new level in the game, both on the course and in the Data Golf rankings.

Over the weekend, Clark secured his second major and fifth PGA Tour title. After just one win in the previous two seasons, the American has now won twice this year.

The latest victory continued a surge that has dramatically improved his standing in Data Golf's rankings.

In a post on X, Golf Digest's Jamie Kennedy pointed out that Clark ranks 15th over the last three months but is No. 1 over the last 30 days.

During this span, the 32-year-old has lifted two titles, the U.S. Open and THE CJ Cup Byron Nelson, in impressive fashion.

At Shinnecock, Clark secured a wire-to-wire victory under tough conditions. He entered the final round with a six-stroke lead. However, that was reduced to just one by the end.

At TPC Craig Ranch, the World No. 8 became just the 10th man to finish a four-round tournament at 30-under or better since 1983.

He came from two strokes behind to win the title by three strokes over South Korea’s Si Woo Kim. It was his first title since the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Between the two victories, Clark also secured a third-place finish at the Memorial. Another commendable performance came at the RBC Canadian Open, where he ended up tied for 11th.

This impressive run has taken Clark from 42nd in the Data Golf rankings over the last 24 months to No. 1 over the last month.

Clark had his say on the recent U.S. Open victory.

Clark on his U.S. Open win

It was a win against all odds for Clark at Shinnecock.

“They definitely didn’t want me to win. It’s pretty rare in an (U.S.) Open Championship or a major to have fans kind of boo against your shots or cheer for bad shots,” said Clark in the post-tournament conference after securing his second major.

As Clark’s six-stroke lead narrowed to one, the Shinnecock crowd cheered his downfall.

On the other hand, his playing partner, Scottie Scheffler, had immense support on his birthday.

Eventually, Clark carded a closing-round 73 and finished 4-under par for the tournament, one stroke ahead of fellow American Sam Burns.
