‘Nothing Short of an Embarrassment’: Golf Fans Bash Wyndham Clark for HIs Bizarre On-Course Antics

Wyndham Clark set himself to get hunted with his little dramatic performance at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at famed Bay Hill. He was seen hitting the turf after duffing a pitch shot on the 9th hole in the third round. Clark was 40 yards short with his second shot on the par-4 9th. Unfortunately, his ball ended up in a divot. However, his on-course tantrum irked the fans. Further, it’s not just that he disrespected the course but did something equally notorious.

The 2023 US Open winner washed up his image at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. A piece of video evidence has put Clark’s integrity at stake at the event and made the situation even more controversial. While playing the 18th hole in the third round, he fanned his tee shot into the right rough. Clark punched out to the fairway and forcefully placed his club behind the ball several times. Even when his caddie cleaned the club before Clark had to hit the shot, Video evidence raised the question of whether the ball moved. If yes, then it results in a one-stroke penalty.

Denying this fact further, “I’m not cheating or anything like that or trying to improve my lie,” Clark said. Supporting the PGA star, Dusbabek argued that there was not enough evidence to suggest that Clark had changed the conditions of the shot. “I feel his ball didn’t move, and he did nothing to affect his stroke.”

However, Clark was not penalized for it. But he did not stop there; welcoming the troubles even more, he added spice by thumping the turf, and that is what triggered the fans most.
