Q. Can you describe what patience had meant to you out there.
WYNDHAM CLARK: The golf course is so demanding. I think I made three saves by chipping out and having a hundred yards in. Yeah, that's what happens at this golf course. You hit it in the rough and you really can't advance it, so you got to be patient and take your medicine and hope you get up-and-down from a hundred yards, and I did that a couple times. And then you start hitting some good shots and you make some putts and it turns into a good round.
Q. Easy to flip the switch to be really patient after a couple weeks ago you had to just pin your ears back and go?
WYNDHAM CLARK: Yeah, no, I mean, I prefer this golf more. I've only shot -- gosh, I bet you less than 10 times in my life in the 20s in a tournament, and then I shot 30. So I don't normally go that low. I like when it's difficult and you have to think and get up-and-down and huge par saves. So I feel more comfortable playing this way.
Q. Are you in state where you have to think much about your golf swing?
WYNDHAM CLARK: No, not a ton. It's actually quite nice. I work really hard on it at home doing mirror work, and then when I get here, I keep doing the same drills so that when I go out there and play, I don't have to think about it. So lately I haven't had to think much, which is nice.
Q. I heard you're launching a mental health app. Where did that idea come from and how important has talking about that been to you?
WYNDHAM CLARK: Yeah, I'm super excited about it. It's called UNLOK. I was literally meditating for a tournament at RBC, and that year actually had a chance to win the tournament. But it was a 12-minute medication, and I bet you eight, nine minutes of it, which is the opposite of what you want to do when you're meditating, I got sidetracked on this app, thinking it would be amazing to create something that everyone can use.
I have, like, four or five different apps that I use for different things, whether that's journaling, meditations, goal-setting, etcetera, and I was like, why can't I combine all of them together? So that was kind of the motivation behind it and I'm really excited about it. Hopefully we can launch it the first of next year.
Q. Is it easier to meditate at Jack's Place?
WYNDHAM CLARK: Yeah, it's a pretty awesome place to meditate.
Q. What has been just the keys to playing this golf course?
WYNDHAM CLARK: Yeah, it's funny because everyone says it's kind of wide off the tee. It is and it isn't. Some holes are and then some aren't. For me, I feel really comfortable if I'm in the fairway with my iron play, and so for me if I can hit fairways, I think I'll have success here. It's -- and that's kind of the biggest thing for me.
Today, every time I was in the fairway I gave myself a really good chance to make birdie and the times I didn't hit the fairway I was trying to scramble for par.
Q. Yeah, I think you led the field in strokes gained approach.
WYNDHAM CLARK: Yeah, so I just need to keep hitting fairways.
