'Kind of Dead Out There': Wyndham Clark Criticizes U.S. Fans at Presidents Cup
Clark said the crowd felt quiet and urged fans to back the U.S. more strongly after its 3-2 opening lead.
- On Thursday, U.S. golfer Wyndham Clark challenged fans at Medinah Country Club to be more vocal at the Presidents Cup, describing the atmosphere as "kind of dead" while the United States took a 3-2 lead over the International team.
- Clark, who teamed with Collin Morikawa to defeat Adam Scott and Ryan Fox 3-and-2, struggled to feel momentum because the crowd remained quiet even after impressive shots, including a 5-wood approach landing within 10 feet.
- U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker agreed with the assessment, describing the day as "weird" and noting that while the first tee was loud, the energy dissipated as the day progressed.

- Clark's criticism contrasts sharply with unruly fan behavior at last year's Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, which drew widespread condemnation and prompted questions about decorum at professional team events.
