Wyndham Clark faces fan jeers as he competes at U.S. Open
Summary

Wyndham Clark endured significant heckling during the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills on June 18, 2026. Despite the hostile environment, Clark completed the fourth round with a three-over par 73, maintaining a four-under overall score. His sports psychologist, Julie Elion, reported that the crowd's negativity affected her, prompting her to leave the course temporarily. Clark's past struggles with self-doubt and negativity have been well-documented, and he credited Elion's guidance for his recent improvements, including his victory at the 2023 U.S. Open. As the tournament progresses, Clark aims to stay focused on his performance amid the challenges from the crowd.
