Most Lost Champions can delete the frustrating years of the open Scottish Sunday

Wynham Clark sat on the podium on the TPC saw in March and drew part of his soul When discussing the course of his career since his blow to the tour of the tournament in the 72nd hole of the 2024 players championship was denied. How his determinant victory in 2023 US Open made the Earth move under his feet made the expectations grow and left it trying to find the joy since he evaporated as his game fell.

“My biggest thing is to play with my potential, and if it changes every day and every tournament, but I get frustrated when I lack concentration, or get angry there, or I’m giving her shots or don’t play with my potential,” Clark said in Sawgrass. “These are things that irritate me. When I’m enjoying myself in the Golf course, I feel like I’m maximizing those things. I’m having fun with my cadet. I’m really hugging the moment. These are things I am trying to come back because I think I play my best golf when I’m in that mental state.

He did not come to the players, where he retired with a neck injury. Since a T5 end in Houston Open, Clark season has been a full bride filled with big disappointing shows and emotional blows, including destroyed closets In Oakmont Country Club after a lost cut in US Open.

Clark’s apology next week left little to be desired as he tried to return to the “moving forward” immediately. He finished T17 to the travelers and then lost the cut on the Classic Rocket. Clark has not ended within 15 of the money since Mars, but he entered the Scottish Open Genesis at Renaissance Club and joined the rounds of 66, 69 and 66 to post 9 under three rounds and place himself two shots back of Rory Mcilroy and Chris Gotterup running on Sunday.

“Just returning to the quarrel, to be honest,” Clark said on Saturday after his round. “I haven’t had a great year and have not been in quarrel very often. Just just nice to go back to this position, and let’s see if I can go to make a good round together and have four solid golf days.”

Clark entered the 79th week in the FedEx Cup rankings. He has the job to do to make the play -off and secure his place in the signing events next season. According to Datagolf’s true hit, Clark ranks 60th, 149th in access and 76th in setting this season.

The game just hasn’t been there.

This week, however, it ranks 14th place outside and the second in placement, although the iron game is still subp (-3.231 to access).

Despite, he will go on Sunday to the last trio with Mcilroy and Gotterup with a chance to erase what has been a disappointing 15 months since fate rejected him at TPC Sawgrass.

Clark is not the only great champion that has found himself on the other side of the Atlantic.

One month after Clark opened to the players, Matt Fitzpatrick gave a Brutally honest appreciation of his game After the first round of RBC heritage.

“A waste, simple like this,” he said. “It has been terrible. Yes, it was the worst I have ever played, in fact.”

Was wrong with Champ Champ Open 2022 game? The problem was that there was no simple answer.

“A little of everything,” he said. “Week every week seems to throw something to me, doing badly or shredding. It was mostly handcuffed have not been good enough, and then it is certainly pressured for everything else, I actually run it in order this year, and this is probably the only positive, but out of that, everything else has not been so good.”

The last 30-year-old Fitzpatrick victory came to the RBC heritage of 2023. In 2024, his game was tanked. He did not record a win in 2024, marking only three Top-10 conclusions and sitting at 40 in the FedEx Cup rankings. Fitzpatrick tried to start the season, but was lit with a T8 finish in the 2025 PGA championship in Quail Hollow Club. Some pedestrian conclusions followed, but he, like Clark, has excavated something from ancient terrain in Scotland.

Fitzpatrick has gone 69, 63 and 69 to post 9 under three rounds and give yourself a chance to find Mcilroy’s favorite Sunday on Sunday.

While the latest results may not have suggested that this was coming, Fitzpatrick may feel his game by getting on the surface.

“Certainly,” Fitzpatrick said when asked if his faith was returning. “There is no doubt about it. I feel more confident in my game and the shooting I am hitting. I definitely feel like there have been some good basic shows that have not necessarily equated the results, but I feel like this is one of what you have to stay patient and continue to do what you are doing if I am in the way.”

In the season, Fitzpatrick ranks 40th from tee, 72nd to access and 70th in placement. This week, Fitzpatrick is winning more than two shots per round and 5.8 in the greens; However, the driver (-0.073) remains in a squirrel.

Mcilroy will be the center of attention on Sunday at the Renaissance club. After taking two weeks of rest, Mcilroy is finally feeling refreshed after a post-masters to gain wrongdoing.

“Canchi my first realistic chance to win after the masters, and I’ve had a great season,” Mcilroy said on Saturday. “I won in Pebble. I won the players. I said this, when you do something you dreamed of all your life to do, it was a great moment in my life, my career. I think I just need that little time. And go back here for the last two weeks, and feel like I could really digest me with great of the year. ”

But while Mcilroy will be the main one of the open Scottish Sunday, two large samples will be plunged into his heel, hoping that 18 good holes on the Scottish coast can erase months disappointment and disappointment.
