Wyndham Clark Wins the US Open
At 27:40 · chapter starts 0:00

Big Cat and PFT identify the three strikes against Wyndham: smashing two lockers at Oakmont after a bad round, destroying a T-Mobile tee box sign, and making a birth control quip about kids at the Masters Par 3 tournament.

PFT argues Wyndham was actually suited to handle the crowd pressure better than most golfers precisely because his game thrives on frustration [1] — Big Cat "Fans at Shinnecock booed Wyndham Clark's every shot and cheered his misses — a level of hostility rarely seen at a US Open. The hosts break…" 05:20 . The crew credits Wyndham for owning the criticism, not asking for fan ejections, and being rewarded when his dad surprised him on the 18th green — turning what could have been a PR disaster into a genuine hero moment.
