While fans heckled him during the 2026 US Open, it became obvious that Wyndham Clark was not going to seize redemption merely by claiming victory at Southampton, New York’s Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. Those who believe the now-two-time major champion is a pretentious hot-head might not ever change their opinion. For many people, the 32-year-old embodies the most hoity-toity aspects of the sport. But his latest comments suggest he is more self-aware than some think.
Barstool’s Pardon My Take dropped a post that referenced Clark’s celebratory comments following The CJ Cup Byron Nelson on May 24. “After winning the US Open, Wyndham Clark is opening some grape.” The Oregon alum took the cue and seemingly poked fun at himself.
“Can confirm, grape was opened last night,” he posted on X. Clark is embracing the much-scrutinized soundbite, as he basks in his latest triumph.
The Denver, Colorado native used a stellar first round of play to propel him towards his second US Open Championship Trophy on Father’s Day. A six-under par 64 jumped off the page at this tournament, as unforgiving course conditions crushed some of the best golfers in the world. Clark survived a tumultuous Sunday — three-over 73 — and finished at 4-under. He outlasted Sam Burns by a stroke, proving that his 2023 win in Los Angeles, California’s North Course was no fluke.
One year after smashing a pair of lockers at historic Oakmont, the polarizing athlete rises above the criticism and strengthens his legacy.
Whether it be how he describes wine or conducts himself after a rough showing, Clark will remain under the microscope going forward. But he will also be a multi-time major champ.
