Wyndham Clark kicked off the Travelers Championship with a stellar six-under 64, two strokes behind early first-round leader Austin Eckroat. But instead of talking about his great round, the highlight of his post-round talk with the media was about something else he kicked last week – the lockers in the Oakmont Country Club locker room.
Spaun’s 64-foot, walk-off putt didn’t just win the US Open and change the 34-year-old’s life forever; it got a full grin out of Hatton looking on during a perfectly timed press conference.
Adam Scott conceded he didn’t adapt to the brutal final round weather conditions and the significant delay in play for squandering a golden chance to win a second career major at the US Open.

McIlroy insisted he isn’t trying to send any sort of message, nor is he trying to dare the PGA Tour into requiring players to speak to the media after the rounds.
Adam Scott is hungry to right the wrongs from a missed cut at the 2007 US Open at Oakmont which he concedes was “the worst I’ve ever played in a major.”
