Fans who made their way to Shinnecock Hills to watch the final round of the U.S. Open on Sunday afternoon were not on Wyndham Clark's side.
In fact, several of them didn't even get to stick around to watch the end of the major championship.
Multiple fans were ejected early on Sunday afternoon for heckling Clark early on as he tired to hold onto the massive six-shot lead that he carried into the final round. One fan, via Fried Egg Golf's Kevin Van Valkenburg, was thrown out for shouting "Don't choke Wyndham!" before his tee shot at the fourth.
NBC confirmed on the broadcast that others were ejected for similar comments, too, including one who yelled, "Get in the bunker!" to Clark.
It wasn't just heckling, either. Fans appeared to be actively cheering against Clark throughout the round. When Clark sent a bunker shot way off to the right on the fourth, fans went sprinting over to swarm his ball over the cart path while cheering loudly. Clark looked livid in the bunker realizing where he sent the ball.
