Wyndham Clark shared a motivational quote on his social media handle ahead of the 2025 US Open. This week’s Major will officially kick start with its first round on Thursday, June 12, and ahead of that, the 2023 winner of the tournament shared a post on his Instagram account.

Wyndham Clark posted a short video of his practice session ahead of the Major, sharing a rare glimpse of his amazing shots on the greens. He donned a dark green polo t-shirt, paired with white capri pants and white shoes. Sharing the post, Clark wrote in the caption:

Wyndham Clark won his maiden Major at the US Open back in 2023. He was phenomenal with his game back then, playing four rounds of 64, 67, 69, and 70 to register a one-stroke win over Rory McIlroy. He is seeking a second Major title this week at Oakmont Country Club.

When will Wyndham Clark kickstart his outing at the 2025 US Open?

Wyndham Clark is scheduled to tee off at the 2025 US Open with its opening round on Thursday, June 12. He will tee off in a group with Matt Fitzpatrick and Gary Woodland on the first tee hole at 7:40 am ET.

The play on Thursday will start at 6:45 am ET with players teeing off on both the first and tenth holes in groups of three. Matt Vogt will take the first shot of the day on the first tee hole in a group with Kevin Velo and Trent Philips, while on the tenth, Zac Blair will tee off in a group with Scott Vincent and Alistair Docherty.

Wyndham Clark has odds of +15000 (via CBS Sports) to win the 2025 US Open. He has been having a decent outing on the PGA Tour this season and has played in 15 tournaments so far in 2025. He has made the cut in 12 of them and recorded one finish in the top-10.
