In today’s podcast, we dive into the thrilling journey of Wyndham Clark, who overcame numerous obstacles and emerged victorious at The U.S.Open.

Firstly, we discuss how NBC seemingly tried to jinx Wyndham Clark. Despite this, he showed remarkable resilience and defeated the best players in the world for the victory. Unfortunately, the broadcast seemed to focus on the shortcomings of others rather than highlighting Wyndham’s exceptional performance.

During the tournament, Wyndham Clark shot a commendable 70 on Sunday, but what’s even more impressive is that he managed to be at -2 after playing 14 holes. His consistent performance throughout the four-day event resulted in scores of 64, 67, 69, and 70. Throughout the week, Wyndham Clark’s mantra was “Be Cocky,” and he proved that confidence can truly make a difference on the golf course.

We also acknowledge the contributions of Rickie Fowler. In the past year Rickie has changed his caddie and hired Butch Harmon as his coach. He has had excellent results, jumping from world ranking of 185th to an impressive 35th position. The impact of a strong support system in golf cannot be overstated.

Moving on, we touch upon Rory and address the criticism that he “didn’t make putts”. While this take may exist, we recognize that Rory McIlroy’s journey and performance are multi-faceted, and it’s important to consider the various factors that contribute to a player’s success or challenges.

Shifting our focus to the USGA, we highlight their generous donation of millions to rebuild golf in Los Angeles. This act of support and investment demonstrates their commitment to the growth and development of the sport.

Looking ahead to the Travelers Field this weekend, we anticipate an exciting event with elevated events and the presence of 23 of the top 30 players in the world. The competition promises to be intense and captivating for both players and fans alike.
