Unruly Long Island fans a 'stain' on the game of golf, according to our columnist

Golf Channel analyst and Golfweek columnist Eamon Lynch delivered a scathing rebuke of Long Island fans following their behavior during the final round of the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. Lynch labeled the unruly gallery a “stain on the game of golf,” citing repeated heckling of eventual winner Wyndham Clark. Fans booed Clark’s shots, cheered his misses, shouted “Don’t choke, Wyndham,” and urged balls into bunkers as he navigated a wire-to-wire victory. Multiple spectators were ejected by security. While acknowledging passionate crowds can enhance majors, Lynch argued the conduct crossed into unacceptable territory and suggested the PGA of America should avoid future major championships on Long Island. He referenced similar issues at past events like the Bethpage Black Ryder Cup. Clark himself noted the hostility was rare for a U.S. Open, saying fans clearly did not want him to win. The controversy has sparked widespread debate about fan etiquette at professional golf events.

Canadian golfer hilariously misidentified as man accused of vandalizing Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

Canadian PGA Tour veteran David Hearn woke up to an unexpected shock on Monday when ABC News mistakenly used his photo in a story about the arrest of another man named David Hearn for allegedly vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. The 47-year-old left-handed golfer, who has made multiple PGA Tour starts in recent years and won on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2004, found his image circulating widely after the outlet confused him with 67-year-old U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn. The ex-Olympian was arrested Friday after reportedly touching a piece of peeling blue liner from the newly renovated pool. The mix-up quickly went viral on social media, drawing laughs from golf fans who recognized the Canadian pro. ABC News has since corrected the error, but not before the golfer’s likeness racked up hundreds of thousands of views. Hearn has not publicly commented on the humorous case of mistaken identity, which highlights the chaos surrounding the Reflecting Pool’s post-renovation issues with algae and peeling paint.

Lexi Thompson withdraws from KPMG Women's PGA Championship

Lexi Thompson has withdrawn from the 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Hazeltine National, organizers announced on Monday. Spain’s Carolina Chacarra has been added to the field in her place for the third major of the LPGA season. The PGA of America did not specify a reason for the withdrawal, but Thompson pulled out of last week’s Meijer LPGA Classic due to hip pain. The 31-year-old had been dealing with the injury, limiting her participation in recent events. This marks another setback for Thompson, who failed to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open earlier this month — the first time she has missed that major since 2007. She had made the cut in the KPMG Women’s PGA every year since her 2011 debut, with four top-10 finishes. A former major winner with 11 LPGA titles, Thompson stepped back from full-time competition in 2024 but has made selective starts in 2026. Her absence leaves a star-studded field led by top players chasing a record $13 million purse at Hazeltine.

15 things you might not know about two-time U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark

Wyndham Clark’s journey to back-to-back U.S. Opens in 2023 and 2026 reveals a resilient athlete shaped by early talent, family tragedy, and fierce determination Born December 9, 1993, in Denver, Colorado, Clark was introduced to golf at age three by his mother Lise, who took him to a driving range—he immediately demanded a second bucket of balls. At six, he made his first hole-in-one on a 125-yard par-3, earning a PlayStation from his father after a family bet.
His father, Randall, was a former pro tennis player, while his mother was Miss New Mexico USA 1981. Clark played high school basketball alongside Christian McCaffrey and won two Colorado state golf titles. He attended Oklahoma State before transferring to Oregon, where he became Pac-12 Player of the Year.
Losing his mother to breast cancer in 2013 nearly derailed his career. He turned pro in 2017, broke through with the 2023 Wells Fargo win, and has since recorded multiple course-record 60s. Clark resides in Scottsdale, enjoys fly fishing, and credits mental toughness for thriving under pressure.

Wyndham Clark quiets a U.S. Open crowd that rooted for him to lose

Wyndham Clark overcame not only a charging Sam Burns but also a relentlessly hostile home crowd to capture his second U.S. Open title Sunday at Shinnecock Hills. Holding a six-shot lead entering the final round, Clark fired a 3-over 73 amid constant jeers, boos on poor shots, and cheers for his misses. Fans shouted “Don’t choke, Wyndham” and “Get in the bunker,” with several spectators removed for crossing the line. The New York gallery often saved its loudest roars for playing partner Scottie Scheffler. Yet Clark stayed composed. A clutch birdie on the 16th and a pressure 52-foot par putt on the 18th secured a one-shot victory at 4-under par, completing a wire-to-wire triumph. Man, they definitely didn’t want me to win,” Clark said afterward. “It’s pretty rare in a major to have fans boo your shots or cheer for bad shots.” He credited mental toughness for turning the adversity into fuel.

At U.S. Open, Wyndham Clark proves he doesn’t have to be perfect to be a winner

Wyndham Clark captured his second U.S. Open title Sunday at Shinnecock Hills, going wire-to-wire to win the 2026 championship despite a gritty final-round battle that showcased resilience over perfection. Starting the final round with a commanding six-shot lead, Clark carded a 3-over 73 but held on for a one-stroke victory at 4-under par. Sam Burns charged late with a 67, but Clark’s clutch birdie on the par-5 16th and a two-putt par from 52 feet on the 18th sealed the deal. The 32-year-old Colorado native faced a hostile crowd that jeered him throughout the round, yet channeled the adversity into motivation. His rounds of 64-69-70-73 marked him as the ninth wire-to-wire U.S. Open winner since 1945 and the 24th multiple champion in event history. Clark, who won his first major at Los Angeles Country Club in 2023, credited mental toughness and short-game savviness for prevailing when his ball-striking faltered. “Golf is not a game of perfection,” he reflected, proving once again that grit and belief win majors. The victory boosts Clark’s confidence heading into the Travelers Championship and cements his status among golf’s elite.

Running with Rick: Travelers Championship the week to back Xander Schauffele

Rick Gehman makes a strong case for Xander Schauffele as the top betting target at the 2026 Travelers Championship, the PGA TOUR’s final Signature Event at TPC River Highlands. The 2022 winner at this birdie-fest venue returns with excellent course history and well-rounded game that thrives on the compact, precision-demanding par-70 layout. Schauffele’s past performances here include a victory at 19-under in 2022 and consistent top-20 finishes even in off weeks. His iron play, scrambling, and putting align perfectly with the stats that win at Cromwell, where low scores and approach accuracy dominate. Fresh off a solid T4 at the U.S. Open and multiple top-10s in 2026, Schauffele offers strong each-way value around +1600 to +1800 odds. While Scheffler looms as the favorite, Gehman highlights Schauffele’s proven affinity for this track and ability to go low when the conditions allow scoring. In a no-cut, 72-player field with a $20 million purse, this is the week to ride the former champion’s momentum for a potential breakthrough victory.

Power Rankings: Who has momentum into Travelers?

PGA TOUR power rankings for the final Signature Event of 2026 at TPC River Highlands highlight several players carrying strong form into the birdie-friendly par-70 track in Cromwell, Connecticut. Wyndham Clark tops the momentum list after capturing his second major at the U.S. Open. The reigning champion has won two of his last four starts and posted a T9 here in 2024, riding a hot putter and confidence into this no-cut field. Sam Burns sits high after a runner-up finish at Shinnecock Hills, marking his fourth top-10 of the season and second top-three in three weeks. J.T. Poston enters with serious heat, winning the Memorial Tournament before a career-best T4 at the U.S. Open; he was runner-up at Travelers in 2022. Scottie Scheffler remains the consensus No. 1 with eight top-fives in 13 starts this season, including a T4 at the U.S. Open and a 2024 victory here. Matt Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young, and Tommy Fleetwood round out the top contenders, all showing consistency and course history.
