US Open champion Wyndham Clark finally opened up about the origin of his past beef with Baker Mayfield.<\/p>\n

Clark just won the US Open last week, and while he speaks to many press outlets about the prestigious accomplishment, he is sharing a little bit about his past. The pro golfer told Barstool Sports<\/a> that\u00a0one of the toughest “matchups” of his life was actually back in college when his girlfriend cheated on him with the now-NFL quarterback.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to decide if I should tell the story,\u201d Clark said on the Pardon My Take podcast. \u201cAlright screw it. I don\u2019t care people already hate me. No, it\u2019s not that bad. My PR team is here\u2026 They prepped me for everything, they didn\u2019t prep me for this one.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy girlfriend at the time cheated on me with Baker Mayfield,” he said.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Clark wrote a tweet <\/a>that read, “I hate Baker Mayfield.”<\/p>\n

However, Clark’s perspective has changed since college about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, “But here\u2019s what I will say\u2026 I am actually a Baker fan now. I think he\u2019s a homie. “<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, that\u2019s your initial response, \u2018screw that guy.\u2019 But really, it\u2019s screw the \u2014 you know. I\u2019m a Baker fan, no, but that\u2019s where it came from,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

Mayfield has not yet spoken out about the allegations, and Clark did not name the ex-girlfriend.<\/p>\n

In 2016, the quarterback attended the University of Oklahoma, and Clark was a golfer at the\u00a0University of Oregon in his last year after previously attending Oklahoma State.<\/p>\n

The NFL quarterback who was drafted into the league back in 2018\u00a0has been married to Emily Mayfield\u00a0since 2019. They met in 2017 and was engaged six months later.<\/p>\n

As for Clark, he is now in a relationship with Emily Tanner.\u00a0\u00a0On Sunday, he won his second U.S. Open when he defeated Sam Burns by one stroke.\u00a0He dubbed Tanner his “good-luck charm” per Golfweek<\/a> and they shared a kiss on the green after his win.<\/p>\n
