Wyndham Clark has already struggled plenty with injuries in the 2025 season, and it continues to be an issue.

The 31-year-old missed the Players Championship earlier this year with a physical problem.

It now seems he’s suffered another one at the RBC Heritage, despite an impressive opening round performance.

Clark shot a six-under-par 65 at Hilton Head to put him in fourth position despite his latest injury.

Wyndham Clark gives negative injury update at the RBC Heritage

Clark explained in his post-round interview at the RBC Heritage on Thursday that his back was troubling him.

“It’s better. It’s just stiff. My back seems to always be good, and then it just goes out of nowhere. I think I should be good going forward, I just have to swing a little slower and treat it nicely.”

The 31-year-old added that his back started hurting “out of nowhere”, and it’s particularly frustrating because he’s already had neck and shoulder injuries this season.

“Yeah, it was neck [at] The Players, then the following week it went into my shoulder. Didn’t do TGL. Didn’t know if I was going to play Houston.

“Then my body felt great last week, and then out of nowhere, this happened. I guess that’s old age, and I’m not even that old.”

Wyndham Clark reviews opening round 65 at the RBC Heritage

Clark’s opening round 65 at the RBC Heritage was only bettered by Justin Thomas (61), Scottie Scheffler (64) and Russell Henley (64).

He made six birdies, including three consecutive from holes 13 to 15, and no bogeys in an impressive performance at Hilton Head.

“I was hitting it really straight,” Clark said upon reflection of his play on Thursday. “I made a lot of great par putts.

“Early on I had a really nice save on the 3rd hole, and then I had another save on the 4th hole, kind of eight-footer, nine-footer, which doesn’t sound like much, but you make both of those, and there’s even par and then I birdied the following hole and was off to the races after that. The push was really working today, and I just hit a lot of quality shots.”
