Team USA star Jack Hughes’ golden goal over Canada in the Olympics wasn’t that long ago, but golf star Wyndham Clark wants to make sure no one forgets it.
Clark, playing in the RBC Canadian Open, took a dig at the Canadian crowd by donning a Hughes shirt on his way to the 14th tee box. As expected, the Canadian crowd booed the Denver native.
Clark, 32, was leaning into the arches as he turned and pointed to his jersey. Clark took off his shirt for his tee shot, and when he hit his tee shot, the boos returned.

Most of the time the crowd cheers after a golfer hits a shot, but that wasn’t the case for Clark after he decided to bring back some bad memories for Canadian fans with the Hughes jersey.
Clark quickly put the crowd at ease when the ball landed just yards from the hole on the 134-yard par-3. The crowd wasn’t quiet for long, however, as Clark donned the Hughes jersey again on his walk to the green and the bows rained down.

Clark didn’t take off his shirt when he walked to the green and buried a birdie putt to move to 9-under for the tournament. As the ball went in the hole, the boos continued and Clark jokingly touched the brim of his cap and saluted the aggrieved Canadian crowd.
The 2023 US Open champion continued his momentum after birdieing the 14th hole as he also bogeyed the 15th and 18th holes to finish at 11-under. At the time of writing, Clark is in second place.

He will look to embrace the villain role and take home the championship on Sunday. Should he win, it would continue his strong run when he won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May.
