Gary Ben Clark (born 9 April 1971) is an English professional golfer.

Early life and amateur career

Clark was born in London. He attended the University of Arkansas.

Professional career

In 1995, Clark turned professional. He qualified for the European Tour through qualifying school at the end of that year.

Clark finished in 103rd place on the Order of Merit in his début season. Since losing his playing privileges the following year, he has played predominantly on Europe's second tier Challenge Tour, where he has a best of 5th place on the end of season rankings in 2001. That enabled him to graduate back to the European Tour for the following season. He has also come through qualifying school twice, in 2005 and 2008, to regain his place at the top level, but has not been able to maintain his card although he was granted a medical exemption for the 2010 season.

Clark recorded his maiden professional win in 2008 at the DHL Wroclaw Open on the Challenge Tour.^[1]
