US Open fans were ejected by police for heckling Wyndham Clark during Sunday’s final round action in unprecedented scenes.
The American took a commanding six shot lead into the final round at Shinnecock Hills, having capitalised on the best of the conditions to post a level-par 70 on Saturday.
He has a second US Open title in his sights, having won the tournament in 2023.
But as he chases glory, Clark will have to overcome late charges from Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns, who have closed the gap on what’s shaping up to be a dramatic finale.
Clark will also have to deal with a hostile crowd.
Fans ejected for heckling US Open leader
According to golf reporter Kevin Van Valkenburg, who is on the ground at Shinnecock, fans have been ‘tossed out’ of the venue for heckling Clark during his final round.
“Cops are booting people for shouting ‘Don’t choke Wyndham!’ as he sets up to his shot,” Van Valkenburg posted, sharing a picture of sheriff’s appearing to check a fan’s pass.
“This young man got bounced for saying it before Clark’s tee shot at No. 4.”
Fellow writer Kyle Porter added that the leader was facing ‘unprecedented’ jeers on the course, despite being an American golfer at the US Open.
“Loud cheers at No. 2 as Wyndham runs one over the green,” he posted on X.
“Can’t remember hearing anything like this for an American at a U.S Open… ever?
“Obviously Sergio etc. always heard from the crowds, but an American Ryder Cupper in New York feels a little unprecedented.”
Clips shared by the US Open’s official X account also captured the reaction to Clark’s performance, with the broadcasters even referencing how ‘unsettling’ it has been for the leader.
Other reporters noted that fellow American, Scottie Scheffler, had the crowd behind him as he chases a historic grand slam.
“Two very different receptions on the first tee,” Golf Digest’s Jamie Kennedy tweeted.
“Crowd sings Happy Birthday to Scottie. Wyndham hits his first shot and I heard yells of ‘crash and burn Wyndham’ and ‘get in the bunker.'”
Wyndham Clark hit out at US Open crowd before final round
Ahead of Sunday’s climax at Shinnecock, Clark hit out at what he believed was a ‘flat’ crowd as he wrapped up on Saturday.
“It was unfortunate it got a little flat,” he admitted.
“Sometimes it made it tough to stay really focused because it seemed like everyone was leaving.”
With what’s been described as an ‘unprecedented’ reception through the early stages of his final round, Clark will probably be hoping for much of the noise to disappear once again.
But with Scheffler, Burns and several others closing the gap and drama to come, that isn’t likely.
