Wyndham Clark takes a brutal swipe at LIV golfers after shooting an opening round 73 at the Masters

Following his first-round 73 at the Masters, Wyndham Clark took a dig at the LIV Golf professionals while talking about his chances at the tournament.

Clark didn't have a great start at the Augusta National as he carded 1-over 73 on Thursday, April 11. He was at 3-under after the front nine but two bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine meant he would finish eight strokes behind the leader Bryson Dechambeau.

During the post-round interview, Clark was asked if the eight-shot difference was manageable for him.

"Yeah, we've got 54 holes," he responded. "In LIV Golf they only play 54, so I like my chances. We've got a lot of golf left. As you can see, someone shot 7-under. I could do that tomorrow."

About his performance, Clark said the wind was quite challenging and he felt he played well on the back nine despite the two bogeys and double bogeys. He added that missing the birdie on the 13th and finding water on the 15th affected the scorecard.

"You take that away, it's a 2, 3 round, maybe even better, and we're in a good spot," he added.
