Golf Fans Loved Wyndham Clark’s Classy Gesture After Missing Putt to Lose Players Championship
The 2024 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass came down to a thrilling finish, with Scottie Scheffler rallying back to make history with his second straight victory at the prestigious event.
Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world, was unbelievable in the final round, firing an 8-under 64 to beat Wyndham Clark, Xander Schauffele, and Brian Harman by one shot. All three of those players had birdie putts on the final hole that would have forced a playoff, but all of them came up short.
Clark’s birdie attempt had the best chance of going in but it somehow rolled around the hole and didn’t fall.
One ... shot ... short ... ????
