Wyndham Clark opens fire on LIV Golf with brutal jibe after opening Masters round

Wyndham Clark came into the Masters as the highest ranked debutant ever – but the world No. 4 had no trouble sounding off at the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour on Thursday

Wyndham Clark took a swipe at LIV Golf for playing only 54 holes following his opening round at the Masters on Thursday.

The world No.4, who comes into the event as the highest-ranked debutant ever, record a 1-over par round. After three birdies on the front nine in what was an encouraging start, Clark recorded two bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine.

But Clark, who stunned everyone to win the US Open last year, has every belief in himself to claw his way back to the top end of the leaderboard. He’ll have some job, though, after Bryson DeChambeau recorded a whopping 7-under to lead after Day 1.

When asked if he can get back on top despite being eight shots behind, he replied: “Yeah, we’ve got 54 holes. In LIV Golf they only play 54, so I like my chances. We’ve got a lot of golf left. As you can see, someone shot 7-under. I could do that tomorrow.”
