Wyndham Clark had more to battle at the 2026 U.S. Open than just the many challenges that Shinnecock and Mother Nature had to offer over four days. The 32-year-old from Denver faced something that we don’t normally see at our national championship—lots and lots of fans who were not only rooting against him, but also willing bad things to happen almost every time he hit a shot.
An American player being so rudely chirped by American fans at the U.S. Open was wild to witness, and cast a dark cloud over what should have been a very fun final round at such a historic golf course.
