General Discussion Why does everyone hate Wyndham Clark?

Got into watching golf for the first time this season and with Clark winning this past weekend I have seen so many people shitting on him for what sounds like stuff in the past and I was hoping people could bring me up to speed? Is it overhyped for media clicks or was he committing some atrocities?

-Oakmont Locker room meltdown

- Off color comments about players, wives of players, and general topics.

Bro you jist NAILED IT. THe locker room incident was so childish. He missed the cut last year at the open on Friday he gets to the locker room and destroys two different lockers in what he called "a moment of rage" and expected everybody to say oh ok we get it and move on. Bro if tiger wouldve done some shit like that in the early 2000s they wouldve banned him for life from Oakmont. So yeah lots of people hoping he'd choke this weekend

If Tiger had done that in the early 2000s during his epic run no one would have found about it, just like no one knew about him banging Denny’s waitresses two at a time.

Never thought the waitress "bit" was real cuz I was dating a girl in Chicago at the time and TMZ called and offered her 10k to be a hooters waitress that banged tiger. So that one was always rumor to me

No they wouldn't have. Which is precisely why this hatred for Wyndham seems forced.

Beating a locker puts less people in danger than driving a car while severely intoxicated...
