Key Points:
- During the final round of the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, several fans were ejected for heckling Wyndham Clark, who was trying to maintain a six-shot lead.
- Fans shouted negative comments such as "Don't choke Wyndham!" and "Get in the bunker!" and actively cheered against Clark's mistakes, creating a hostile environment.
- Clark's lead diminished significantly as he struggled on the front nine, entering the turn at 3-over with only a one-shot advantage.
- Clark's reputation has been tarnished since an incident at the previous year's U.S. Open where he damaged century-old lockers in frustration, leading to a temporary ban from the club.
- Despite his efforts to rebuild his image and win back fans, the hostile crowd reaction on Sunday indicates he still faces challenges in regaining widespread support.
