Denver native Wyndham Clark recorded his best showing as a pro on a major U.S. tour on Wednesday by tying for fourth in The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic on the Web.com Tour.
Also placing in the top 10 on Wednesday was another Denver native, Mark Hubbard, who shared 10th place, giving him his eighth career top-10 showing on the Web.com circuit.
Clark, a former CGA Amateur champion and two-time state high school tournament winner, led after each of the first two rounds but cooled off a bit the final two days.
Clark (pictured) posted scores of 66-68-72-69 for a 13-under-par 275 total, leaving him four strokes behind champion Adam Svensson of Canada. Clark was 4 under par for the day through 13 holes, but bogeyed No. 15 and couldn’t capitalize on either of the par-5s down the stretch. His tie for fourth earned him $21,750.
The Great Abaco Classic was just Clark’s third start on the Web.com Tour since turning pro following his senior season at the University of Oregon, which included a victory at the Pac-12 Conference Championships in Boulder.
Clark has also played in seven PGA Tour events, with a best showing of 17th at the Sanderson Farms Championship.
Meanwhile, Hubbard, a regular on the PGA Tour the past three seasons, checked in two strokes behind Clark on Wednesday. The 10th-place showing was his best finish on the Web.com Tour — or the PGA Tour — since September 2015.
Hubbard eagled the par-5 eighth hole but played the back nine in 1 over en route to a 1-under-par 71 in the final round, leaving him at 11-under 277 overall. His showing was worth $13,300.

Elsewhere in professional golf on Wednesday, former University of Colorado golfer Jeremy Paul posted his first professional victory, winning the Pro Golf Tour’s Red Sea Ain Sokhna Classic in Egypt.
The Pro Golf Tour is a satellite circuit that feeds the European Challenge Tour.
Paul, who owns the best career scoring average in CU golf history (71.7) when he turned pro last April, recorded scores of 65-70-68 for a 13-under-par 203 total. A 23-foot birdie on the final hole gave the German a one-stroke victory and the first prize of 5,000 euros.
Paul, who competed in a dozen Web.com Tour events in 2017, recently earned conditional status on PGA Tour Latinoamerica by finishing 23rd in a Q-school tournament in Florida.
