Although Wyndham Clark is World No. 5 in the OWGR, he hasn't played like it in the last few weeks. He has missed three cuts in his last six starts, and the US Open was the first Major this season where he made it to the weekend. However, he could only tie for 56th while trying to defend his title.

Despite the recent slump, Clark has a win and two runner-up finishes this season. He will be hoping to get back to form at the Travelers Championship.

Speaking of his past performance, the World No. 6 golfer has made the cut in each of his three starts at the Travelers Championship. He will be eyeing a better finish this week to boost his confidence as we head into the latter half of the season.
