Team USA star Jack Hughes’ golden goal against Canada at the Olympics isn’t that long ago, but golf star Wyndham Clark wants to make sure no one forgets it.
Clark, who was competing in the RBC Canadian Open, attacked the Canadian crowd by donning a Hughes jersey as he headed to the 14th tee. As expected, the Canadian crowd booed the Denver native.
Clark, 32, leaned into the boos as he turned around and showed off his jersey. Clark took off the jersey for his tee shot, and after hitting his tee shot, the boos returned.

Most of the time, the crowd applauds after a golfer makes a shot, but that wasn’t the case for Clark after he decided to bring up bad memories for Canadian fans in the Hughes jersey.
Clark quickly quieted the crowd when the ball landed a few feet from the hole on the 134-yard par-3. The crowd didn’t stay silent for long, however, as Clark donned the Hughes jersey again for his walk to the green, and boos rained down.

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

He will look to take on the role of villain and win the championship on Sunday. If he were to win, it would continue his strong run, as he won the Byron Nelson CJ Cup in May.
