Wyndham Clark comments on low attendance at U.S. Open 2026

Wyndham Clark expressed disappointment over the low energy and sparse crowd at Shinnecock during the U.S. Open on Saturday. Many grandstands remained half-full for the final groups, contributing to a flat atmosphere. Clark noted that the late afternoon pairing, which started at 3:45 PM, likely affected fan turnout as many left to catch transportation. The USGA reported reduced ticket sales compared to previous U.S. Opens, and the ongoing World Cup and Knicks' NBA Finals parade contributed to the lack of spectators. Clark is hopeful for an improved atmosphere on Sunday.
