If there is one term that can describe Wyndham Clark’s 2023 season, it is late bloom. He turned professional in 2017, but only this year did the world get to witness the extraordinary skills that the golfer possesses, all thanks to his two big wins in 2023!

First, it was the Wells Fargo Championship, where he comfortably finished the game at -19. The second, of course, was his recent massive triumph at the year’s third golf major. There is no doubt about the fact that Clark’s performance at LACC was exceptional. The golf diva, Spiranac, also seemed to think along similar lines.

Appreciating the illustrious victory, the social media icon shared a personal story on Twitter. She wrote, “Wyndham Clark and I grew up playing junior golf together in Colorado.” The former golfer added that everyone knew there was something special about Clark and that he would make a big name for himself. “Now he’s a major winner! Very cool moment.” Exactly! The win at the North Course evidently portrays Clark as a reservoir of talent. One that just needed a chance to let go.

Through his brilliant putting and smart driving, he proved that he belongs on the big stages like the US Open. Though it appears that Spiranac’s intention behind the tweet was just to add a personal touch, it provoked mayhem in the golf community. Fans from all across the golf world flocked to the comment section.

The Instagram model replied to his comment and cleared the air about her intentions. She said, “I was adding a personal note to show how cool it is to watch someone be successful at every step of their career and how he was always a stand out player even back at age 13.” However, some of the viewers were still skeptical of the golf influencer’s intentions.
