Wyndham Clark

TPC River Highlands

Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: 5-under 65 today. If we can get some comments on your round?

WYNDHAM CLARK: Yeah, it was pretty solid. Yeah, it was pretty solid. This golf course can be frustrating sometimes, because you see guys taking it low, and you feel like if you're not making birdies, you get behind.

But, yeah, overall pretty solid. Kind of got myself in decent position. Going to have to shoot something low to get the win, but at least we're in a good spot.

THE MODERATOR: Scottie was the last to win a major and then win the following week. What are you finding hardest about that, and how is your focus right now?

WYNDHAM CLARK: The hardest part is recovering from the celebrating and probably the tiredness, but outside of that, I'm happy. I'm pleased with how I've played. Yeah, looking forward to the opportunity tomorrow.

Q. How validating -- you could have skipped this week after the win. Have you validating to come out and bring game with you?

WYNDHAM CLARK: Yeah, I mean, I've known I've been playing good for a little while, and I love this course. It's always one of the best setups of the year.

You know, like I've said prior, they gave me my first start, so I feel obligated to do the right thing for Travelers. Yeah, I just love being here.

I got tons of time coming up after this week and then after the Open Championship, so I'm looking forward to that.

Q. What is it about your game right now that you really like where it is?

WYNDHAM CLARK: Probably the putting. My swing isn't necessarily -- my ball striking isn't as sharp as maybe it was a few weeks ago and then also earlier in the year, but the putting has been really good.

Q. Is it a big mental difference going from something like Shinnecock to here? How do you gear up differently just to go out and play well and shoot for birdies?

WYNDHAM CLARK: It's kind of the same. It's more of you just kind of change what the objective is for that week. You know, you play U.S. Open, and pars feel like birdies. Then you come out here, and you know, pars feel like almost bogeys.

You just have to kind of change it in your head, but it's nice. I think a lot of us prefer to play where you are making birdies rather than, you know, struggling to make pars.

Q. Today did you feel like you needed to go 5- or 6-under?

WYNDHAM CLARK: Yeah, minimum. Minimum. I would have preferred obviously more, but I thought, yeah, 4 or 5 was the minimum you had to shoot today to kind of be in contention.

You know, unfortunately, these guys will probably get to 19, maybe 20, so it could be a little out of reach, but still a great day tomorrow. Could have a nice finish and lead into a nice off week.

Q. Are you operating mostly on confidence, momentum, fatigue?

WYNDHAM CLARK: Fumes, fumes. Just one more day. When I was on Korn Ferry, I played nine weeks in a row. I've had years where I've had to play six or seven in a row. So it's four in a row. Obviously it's different when you are in contention most of the weeks.

But I'm looking forward to next week. I'm not going to touch a club. So that's all I'm fantasizing about right now.

Q. What's been the best reaction, either a text you got, something a fan said, anything over the past week that's sort of been heartwarming to you?

WYNDHAM CLARK: Honestly, just coming here the whole week, everyone has been polar opposite of last week. Everyone has been so nice. They're rooting for me, cheering for me. Just a lot of, like, genuine pulling for me.

That's probably been the nicest thing is just, you know, the reprieve or the difference between last week.

Q. Has there been a difference in your last four events to lead to the better play?

WYNDHAM CLARK: Mainly just the putting. Just been putting good.
