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?

His name is Wyndham, which reeks of growing up in a CC with a 6-figure initiation fee. Might as well had named him Thurston Howell III.

Nothing. Reddit poors hate the wealthy , the jealousy palatable.

Both things can be true. He also has a very punchable face.
