Things are getting fishy Augusta National Golf Course.
2023 US Open champion Wyndham Clark made a not-so-subtle dig LIVGolf Thursday after finishing the first round of the Masters tournament eight shots behind leader Bryson DeChambeau.

“We have 54 holes. At LIV Golf, they only play 54,” Clark said of the rival Saudi-backed tour format.

“We have a lot of golf left. As you can see, someone shot seven under. I might do it tomorrow.”
Clark’s Masters debut didn’t go as planned, but he certainly has the momentum to last year’s major victory to stay in the race.
He won the Wells Fargo Championship earlier in the year at Quail Hollow and added another victory at Pebble Beach in February. Clark finished second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship, and he shot a final round of 66 at the Houston Open in his final start before the Masters.

Clark shot a 73, thanks to a double bogey on 15 – the same hole that saw Jordan Spieth quadruple bogey in his opening round.
“I was pretty calm. I felt good out there. Like I said, if I played the par fives a little better and maybe made a putt or two here and there, we’d have an interview different right now,” Clark said Thursday.
“I felt like I played well. My game is good. I just need to make some putts and tighten it up on the par fives.”
