In an interview with Sky Sports Golf on Tuesday afternoon, Clark doubled down on his comments about McIlroy.
Clark said:
Clark sits eight spots behind McIlroy at 10th position in the Official World Golf Rankings heading into this week's Ryder Cup.
Only the two-time PGA Tour winner considers he is the best player in the world.
Attempting to prevent any accusations of arrogance that might be thrown against him, Clark stood resolute in his statement.
The 29-year-old American added:
While Clark's self-belief is admirable, it could also come back to bite him in the not-too-distant future.
Clark was quick to predict what many golf fans around the world will now be hoping for when he suggested that fate would inevitably throw him up against McIlroy on Sunday.
He continued:
