Team USA star Jack Hughes scored his golden goal over Canada in the Olympics not that long ago, but golf star Wyndham Clark wants to make sure no one forgets about it.
Clark, playing in the RBC Canadian Open, took a dig at the Canadian crowd by donning a Hughes jersey on his way to the 14th tee box. As expected, the Canadian crowd showered the Denver native with boos.
Clark, 32, leaned into the boos as he turned around and pointed to his jersey. Clark took the jersey off for his tee shot, and, upon hitting his tee shot, the boos returned.

Most of the time, the crowd cheers after a golfer hits a shot, but that was not the case for Clark after he decided to conjure up some bad memories for Canadian fans with the Hughes jersey.
Clark quickly quieted the crowd when the ball landed just a few feet from the hole on the 134-yard par-3. The crowd wasn’t quiet for long, however, as Clark once again put the Hughes jersey back on for his walk to the green, and the boos rained down.

Clark did not take the jersey off when he walked to the green and buried a birdie putt to move to 9-under for the tournament. When 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 U.S. Open champion continued his momentum after birdieing the 14th hole. He also birdied the 15th and 18th holes to finish at 11-under. At the time of this writing, Clark was in second place.
He will look to embrace the villain role and take home the championship on Sunday. If he were to win, it would continue his strong run of play after he won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May.
