In stark contrast to last year\u2019s Ryder Cup, there was a lively atmosphere on the first tee, but the energy did not carry out onto the sprawling course as the stands emptied before the final match began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt like the momentum could have been better, to be honest, because we weren\u2019t really feeling the fans, I think, as much as normal,\u201d said Clark.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wyndham Clark calling out the fans at Medinah: &#8220;These guys are going to laugh, but it was kind of dead out there.

It was a little surprising. We\u2019d make some big putts. I\u2019m saying this more as a challenge that hopefully tomorrow and the weekend the fans are out there really rooting us on, and regardless of what happens, we have the momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>US captain Brandt Snedeker admitted it was a \u201cweird\u201d opening day of action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really felt like the fans were out there and they were there, but the first tee was loud, and then it just kind of dissipated as the day went on,\u201d Snedeker said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know why. I think part of it was because the golf course was set up pretty difficult.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were some really tough pins out there, so it was really hard to get a lot of birdies going and get guys going crazy, I guess.\u00a0And there\u2019s some tough viewing out there on some of the holes where people really couldn\u2019t see what was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wyndham Clark made his feelings clear about his own fans on a subdued opening day at the Presidents&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":909318,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":["post-909317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/909317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=909317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/909317\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/909318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=909317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=909317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=909317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
