That was a gutsy win for Wyndham Clark.

To overcome the course, make championship-level putts while watching your lead slip away, do it while paired with the World No. 1, fight a two-way miss off the driver, and have the entire crowd against you – that is nothing short of impressive.

People will try to hand-wave away his victory. There are already people saying things like, “He won this tournament in a 45-minute window on Thursday,” as if that matters at all.

He won the U.S. Open because he maintained his composure and flat-out putted better than everyone else in the field.

Look at that stat below. Do you know how insane that is?

When someone putts like that, it’s hard to beat them. Doesn’t matter if it’s in your club match, your buddies match, or the U.S. Open.

The Fans In NY Stink

Wyndham Clark deserved better treatment from the fans in New York, and they were an odd group of “fans” all week.

Saturday, people were streaming out of the place early, and then on Sunday they all showed back up to cheer against their countrymen?

Now, I understand that people have a low tolerance for multi-millionaire golfers being whiny, and destroying locker rooms. Wyndham Clark has had some bad moments. It’s weak behavior, and should be called out.

But the man apologized, he paid restitution, and the members at Oakmont have repeatedly said that they are good with Wyndham, and that they have moved on.

So, why can’t everyone else move on? It’s fine to dislike a player for poor behavior, it’s also fine to cheer for Scottie Scheffler, but this trend of actively cheering against players, like what happened to Matt Fitzpatrick earlier this season, is lame.

Wyndham handled every bit of the heckling with class, and held on despite it.

By the way, he now has as many majors as Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, Bernard Langer, Greg Norman, and Johnny Miller. Source

What else?

Sam Burns played incredibly well on Sunday, he had a birdie putt on the 72nd hole to tie Clark, which missed by about 1/16th of an inch. This is the 2nd year in a row he’s had a heartbreaking 2nd place finish at the U.S. Open.

What’s Next?

The Travelers Championship.

A mix of dominance, innovation, controversy, and what’s coming next. One player is back on top of the world, another story dives into how far equipment testing can go, one decision splits fans, one lays out the future of a major, and another follows a player looking for redemption on one of golf’s toughest stages.
