Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted June 19 EUGENE, Ore. – In continuation of what has been an incredible run for Oregon men’s golf alum Wyndham Clark, the former Duck was one of four men’s golfers selected to represent Team USA at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) on Tuesday. Selection to the team is determined by the World Golf Ranking system in which Clark is ranked fifth overall and third among Americans. Clark will join Scottie Scheffler (No. 1 WGR), Xander Schauffele (No. 3) and Collin Morikawa (No. 7) in representing the Stars and Stripes in the 33rd edition of the Games. Clark, who won the 2023 U.S. Open and finished third in the 2023 PGA Tour final standings, has resumed his impressive performances in 2024 by winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February and logging back-to-back runner-up finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship in March. Clark is the first UO men’s golf alum to be named to an Olympic team. The former Duck and his teammates seek to uphold a tradition of excellence among U.S. golfers as Americans have captured 13 Olympic golf medals while no other nation has earned more than three. Men’s golf at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris begins on August 1 and will run through August 4. All competition will be held at Le Golf National, located in the city of Guyancourt, which is southwest of Paris. 1 2 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 3 Share Posted June 19 (edited) Wyndham (No. 5 in the world rankings) is limping to Paris. The USA is represented by four players, Clark, Colin Morikawa (No. 7 - Cal,) Xander Schauffele (No. 3 -San Diego State,) and Scottie Scheffler (No. 1 - Texas) the most of any nation in the field. Bryson DeChambeau, this year's US Open winner could not earn points on the LIV tour and is not on the team. Clark did make the Open cut. Le Golf National will host the tournament. In 2018 the US Ryder Cup team was defeated by the European team on this course. Hats off to Wyndham! You never know when a player of Clark's caliber will round into form.
