Wyndham Clark on Thursday crowds at Medinah: 'Kind of dead out there'
The crowds, if not sparser than expected, were certainly muted for the first session of the 16th Presidents Cup, which the U.S. emerged from with a 3-2 lead – and Clark was among those who noticed.
On Thursday, the Medinah Country Club witnessed subdued crowds during the first session of the 16th Presidents Cup, despite the U.S. team securing a 3-2 lead. Wyndham Clark noted the lack of fan energy, expressing that the momentum could have been better. He specifically pointed to a 5-wood shot from 229 yards on the par-4 11th hole that received no applause, even from the players.
U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker mirrored Clark's observations, attributing the subdued atmosphere to the challenging nature of the course setup, which made it difficult for players to secure birdies and generate excitement. Snedeker also suggested that viewing the game might have been hindered by bad sightlines on some holes. Despite these challenges, Snedeker expressed confidence in the U.S. team's strong fan support, predicting that fans would rally behind them in the following days.
