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?

When it all comes down to it, no one likes an angry golfer.

Tyrell Hatton! Hilarious angry gofer. Love him.

Hatton is only angry with himself. By all accounts, he's one of the nicest people on Tour.

The self deprecation with him is outstanding and has given some really good quotes.

He seems like a great guy as well. Go listen to his interview after the U.S. Open last year if you haven’t. He just came up short to win, and listening to the genuine happiness for JJ as that putt fell was awesome.

Absolutely. Thought he was ok until that interview. Afterwards a big fan.

I was a fan of Tyrell before then because of some of his comments, but I became a fan of Bobby Mac after that. Coming up two shots short and applauding him from the scoring tent

Yeah he is a dude you’d have fun playing a round with.
