Joe House delivers a detailed account of Clark's US Open week. The tournament's outcome was essentially decided Thursday when Clark shot a 64 in conditions that were supposed to favor the field — the winds forecasters predicted never materialized. He then ground out 2 over par over his final three rounds, making clutch par saves from extraordinary positions. [1] — Joe House "Clark played from the lead wire-to-wire at Shinnecock, winning by a stroke on the back of clutch par saves and a decisive eagle on 16 Satur…" 1:38:13 The decisive shot was an eagle on hole 16 Saturday — the only eagle made on that hole all week — which House calls the shot of the tournament. On Sunday, Clark bogeyed the par-3 17th, nearly gifting Sam Burns a playoff, before two-putting from 52 feet on 18 to seal the win. The crowd rooted hard against Clark throughout: his unpopularity traces to a driver-throwing incident that nearly hit a spectator at the PGA Championship and, most damningly, smashing an antique locker at Oakmont with insufficient follow-up remorse. Simmons points out that golf fans constantly complain about boring golfers but then demand jail time when one acts out — House agrees the sport may have needed a villain.
