U.S. Open co-leader Wyndham Clark took an indirect shot at the USGA as he expressed his frustration with Saturday's late tee times.
Sunday, took an indirect shot at the United States Golf Association for late tee times he said cost him and Rickie Fowler strokes Saturday during the third round.
Clark, who teed off last with Fowler at 3:40 p.m. local time and finished at 7:56 p.m. Saturday at Los Angeles Country Club, blamed darkness on his making a bogey at No. 17 and Fowler making a bogey at No. 18. "I mean, it’s a little ridiculous we teed off that late," Clark said."I would say right around hole 15 or 16 it started getting to where you couldn't see that well. I mean, I don't personally understand why we teed off — we played twilight golf.
"So it's kind of tough and it's crazy to think that we're doing that on the last two holes of a major when we could have teed off two hours earlier. Hopefully tomorrow we don't have that issue."The USGA, which runs the U.S. Open and sets the tee times, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Clark’s remarks. The late tee times Saturday allowed NBC to air its broadcast during prime time.
