Summary

  • Wyndham Clark, 32, drew loud boos at the RBC Canadian Open after walking to the 14th tee in a Jack Hughes Team USA jersey, then stuffed his 134-yard tee shot close and made birdie.
  • Clark kept the jersey on as he walked to the green, saluted the crowd after the putt dropped and leaned further into the villain role that came from invoking Hughes’ Olympic golden goal over Canada.
  • Four birdies on 14, 15 and 18 as well pushed Clark to 11-under and into second place at the time of the report heading into Sunday’s final round.
  • The 2023 U.S. Open champion is chasing another win after taking the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May, with the crowd reaction adding extra edge to his title bid in Canada.
