Did Wyndham Clark just prove he's a one-hit wonder with that Olympic disaster?

Wyndham Clark’s Olympic dreams got off to a rough start. Fans couldn’t believe his early scores at the Le Golf National. Round one isn’t even over yet, but Bryson DeChambeau’s fans were ready to rub it in Clark’s face, saying Clark isn’t cut out for the Paris Olympics. 

In a recent post by Nosferatu on X, fans could see the poor score Clark has made so far. The 2023 U.S. Open champion had a tough beginning, with two bogies and a double bogey in the first three holes. His bad luck knocked on his door when his shots on the 2nd and 3rd holes went into the water. But Clark didn’t give up. He kept trying and finally found his groove with two birdies in a row on the 9th and 10th holes. Just when things were starting to look good for the 3 time PGA Tour winner, he hit another bump with a bogey on the 12th hole.

Despite the struggles, Clark refused to quit, but bad luck followed him like dark clouds on a rainy day. And on par-4 he hit his ball into a sand trap and then far away from the greens! Clark did well on hole 14, but then made a big mistake on hole 15, hitting his ball into the water. He is currently rested at the 56th position with a bad score of 4-over 75 and is far behind the leader, Hideki Matsuyama.

The golf tournament at the Paris Olympics is far from over, and Clark still has time to improve his gameplay and change the course of the next round. That, however, didn’t stop DeChambeau fans from taking a jab at Clark.

In the X post, it was clear that with this score, Clark was not going to win the gold for Team USA and fans agreed on it quite aggressively. He stinks, he’s a one hit wonder. He was never any good, had one good season. Then couldn’t shut his fat mouth”, said one fan, referring to his performance at the 2023 season. Clark not only won his first major title at the 2023 U.S. Open, but also secured the trophy at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Another fan said, “In terrible form, shouldn’t be there. Imagine not taking Bryson 🤦‍♂️”. The LIV Star, Bryson DeChambeau, couldn’t qualify to play in the 2024 Paris Olympics and there was a whole controversy about the unfairness of Olympic qualifying rules. Even Xander Schaueffle was asked questions about this.

“T56 at the US Open and MC at the other 3 majors this year. By no measure should he be there before Bryson. Embarrassing”, said another fan. Clark made a poor score of 12 under par and settled at T56 at the 2024 U.S. Open and missed the cuts at the PGA Championship, The Open Championship, and the Masters Tournament, while DeChambeau aced the three majors. DeChambeau won over the fans by winning his second major title at the 2024 U.S. Open. Not only that, he finished as a runner-up at the PGA Championship and secured the T6 position at the Masters Tournament.

What’s your perspective on:

Did Wyndham Clark just prove he's a one-hit wonder with that Olympic disaster?

Other fans called him “Overrated”, while one fan straight up said, “no he’s just not very good”. With three more rounds ahead of him, do you think Wyndham Clark will be able to level up his performance? Let us know in the comment section below!
