As Wyndham Clark charges toward a potential second U.S. Open title, one of his biggest fans is making sure the world knows how proud she is. Model Emily Tanner, Clark's girlfriend, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a heartfelt message of support before the final round at Shinnecock Hills.
“Proud x100000,” she wrote on her Instagram Story, echoing the sentiment of golf fans who've watched Clark build a commanding six-stroke lead. The 2023 U.S. Open champion is on the verge of another major victory, but Tanner's reaction has become a story of its own.
The couple went public at The Masters earlier this year, and since then, Tanner has been a constant presence at tournaments. Her latest post comes as Clark looks to hold off challengers like Scottie Scheffler in the final round of the third major of the year. It's clear that her support is giving him an extra boost.
Clark's performance on Saturday was nothing short of spectacular. He delivered what many are calling the shot of the year, leaving the golf world in awe. Yet despite his dominance, Clark expressed disappointment with the sparse crowds on Long Island. “Yeah, it was kind of unfortunate that we’re finishing in the dark and people weren’t really out there because there were some obviously key, big moments, and it did kind of get a little flat, so yeah, unfortunately,” he said on Saturday.
He added: “Hopefully tomorrow there’s a bunch of fans and stuff, but for me, it’s still really important, and I still felt the moment. It’s just maybe unfortunate that there weren’t all the people there.”
While the crowd may have been thin, Tanner's enthusiasm more than made up for it. The couple has been dating for a couple of months, and Tanner has been spotted at several events, including a recent bikini photo that turned heads as the U.S. Open heated up. Her presence seems to be a calming influence on Clark, who has been playing some of the best golf of his career.
As Clark tees off in the final round, all eyes will be on his game—and on Tanner, who is sure to be cheering from the gallery. With a six-stroke lead, he's in prime position to secure his second major title. And if Tanner's Instagram is any indication, she'll be celebrating right alongside him.
