Marco Penge comments on Wyndham Clark after bogey-free 64 on Friday at the Genesis

Following Clark and Penge around Riviera would have made for great viewing over the opening two rounds.

Both are known for their distance off the tee, and it’s not surprising they’ve each found form this week in Pacific Palisades.

Penge spoke to Sky Sports during their Genesis coverage, discussing how he’s adjusting to life on the PGA Tour compared to his time on the DP World Tour.

“Yeah, this is only my fourth week but it’s obviously different to Europe,“ Penge admitted.

“You need different attributes to play well in Europe, and different here, so I’m still figuring that out a bit. ”

Penge went on to talk about learning from other players, including his recent playing partner:

“I still have so much to improve on and get better at. Parts of my game still really frustrate me. I’m just learning from all of the top players out here and, you know, playing with Wyndham the last two days, and some great players over the past three to four weeks. ”

He finished by saying: “It’s just nice to watch them and try to learn stuff from them.”

Penge highlights area for improvement despite Genesis lead

Even with his strong play this week, Penge feels there’s still room to improve.

“I mean, my iron play for me, it’s just so inconsistent,” Penge explained.

“The performance I put on there for the last seven holes was just so good, and then some of the shots I hit on the front nine, the two just don’t go together if you know what I mean.”

Penge thinks some of those inconsistencies could be linked to his style of play.

“I suppose being a high ball speed player and being the high flair player that I am, that may just always be like that,” he said.

“But I definitely would like to tighten some screws and bring it all together a bit more.”

Penge is aware that his development will be a gradual process. “I think that’s just part of my process to try and become better,” he added.

If he can find more consistency with his irons, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him in contention at even bigger events in future seasons.
