Wyndham Clark is making headlines both on and off the golf course. The former U.S. Open champion is currently tearing through the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, holding a commanding four-shot lead after two rounds. But while Clark focuses on securing his second major title, his girlfriend, social media influencer Emily Tanner, is stealing the spotlight online.
Tanner, who has over 730,000 Instagram followers, recently posted a swimsuit photo from a bachelorette trip in California, just two weeks before the U.S. Open. The image quickly went viral, with fans praising her stunning look. It's not the first time Tanner has caused a stir—she's no stranger to social media fame.
The couple officially went public during the Masters Par 3 Contest in April, where Clark shared a photo of them together with the caption, "Par 3 with my good luck charm." Since then, Tanner has been a constant presence at Clark's tournaments, cheering him on from the sidelines. Her swimsuit snap has only added to the buzz surrounding the golfer's personal life.
Meanwhile, Clark is riding a wave of momentum. After shooting a 6-under 64 in the first round and a 1-under 69 in the second, he set a 36-hole scoring record at Shinnecock Hills. "I really felt like I could be in double digits, but the great thing about that is I didn't feel like I had my best, and I still am leading as of right now," Clark said. "Hopefully I can bring my A-game on the weekend."
Clark's journey hasn't been without its ups and downs. Reflecting on his career, he said, "I was on top of the world in my game when I won the U.S. Open and then had some good years. Then next thing you know, I'm apologizing for breaking a locker the year later. If you think of it as climbing Everest, sometimes you go up, sometimes you have to go down to go back up. Right now I'm trending back up, which is nice."
The pressure is on for Clark to close out the tournament, but he seems unfazed. With a four-shot lead, he's in prime position to add another U.S. Open trophy to his collection. Fans are eager to see if he can maintain his form over the weekend.
In other sports news, swimsuit photos of athletes' partners have been making waves, and Tanner's latest post is no exception. The social media influencer continues to captivate audiences, proving that her relationship with Clark is as hot as his golf game.
The third round of the U.S. Open will be televised on NBC, and all eyes will be on Clark as he aims for glory. Whether he wins or not, one thing is clear: the combination of his golf prowess and Tanner's online presence is a winning formula for attention.
