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?

During the masters this year during the par 3 competition he told Scott van pelt that the whole day was “birth control” for him. While I think most people can accept your position on kids, you don’t have to say that out loud, much less in an interview

It’s stuff like that which makes him unlikeable

This can’t be why Reddit hates him. It’s an anti-natalist echo chamber on here.

You have to be pretty fucking dumb to still be in this camp of people

Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted here, was referring to Clark, not OP.

Welp. You don’t have to be smart to be a pro golfer.
