Wyndham Clark issues defiant response to BMW Championship controversy
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Wyndham Clark, winner of the BMW Championship, defended his practice swings in the rough on the 14th hole, denying any attempt to improve his lie despite switching clubs multiple times and taking several swings.
- Clark emphasized that judging a lie by trying different clubs is common among players and insisted he never fully grounded his club behind the ball, contrasting his actions with Bryson DeChambeau's penalty at the British Open.
- He stated the lie was never bad and rejected accusations of compromising the integrity of the field, urging critics to think what they want but affirming his clean play.
- The CBS broadcast crew noted Clark’s unusual pre-shot routine, suggesting it could have improved the lie, but Clark still made par on the hole and finished strong with birdies on the last three holes to win by three shots.
- Clark is set to compete in the Tour Championship starting Thursday in Atlanta, where the winner will receive a $10 million prize.
