Notably, Clark has been the center of attraction throughout the tournament. And due to that, the golfer has made several appearances in interviews recently. However, one of his recent interviews with CBS Sports host Amanda Balionis Renner turned out to be pretty different than all others. And it was after a well-known golf analyst, Diane Knox Balas, highlighted something that she saw while watching the interview, and probably no one else did!
Sharing her vivid observation skills with the world, Balas decided to record a short clip from the interview and posted it on Twitter. Apparently, the Wells Fargo Trophy featured something that literally no one could have thought of. As most fans know, the trophy contains the names of all past winners alongside the year they won the title in. Fans are also aware of the fact that the tournament couldn’t be played in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But what they didn’t know was that the trophy indeed contained a section for the 2020 season, and instead of a golfer’s name, it said, well, COVID-19!
Fans react to Clark’s viral interview clip
As soon as the video was posted on Twitter, fans decided to give all kinds of reactions to it in the comments. And not just the fans, but the host, Amanda Renner, herself laughingly responded to the video and said she ‘didn’t notice’ it in the first place. Here’s how some other fans reacted to the clip:
