Interestingly, she made claims that Clark played junior golf with her in Colorado. Her tweet was not taken lightly by fans and she was severely trolled in the comment section.
Wyndham Clark and I grew up playing junior golf together in Colorado. Everyone would always say he had something special and we all knew he’d make it. Now he’s a major winner! Very cool moment
One fan even shared a graphic that read, 'It's not about you, but you get in there and make it about you'.

How did Rickie Fowler perform at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic?
The 2023 season has been quite sensational for Rickie Fowler. He has constantly played some good rounds of golf but did not manage to win until last Sunday. He finally won the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, which also happens to be his first win since 2019 on the PGA Tour.
Fowler was dominant since the first day at the Detroit Golf Club. In the first round, he carded a score of 67 with the help of eight birdies and three bogeys. He went on to score one eagle, six birdies, and a bogey in the second round.
The third round saw Rickie Fowler carding nine birdies and a bogey to put a score of 64 under his name. In the final round, with his inspirational efforts, he managed to tie in with Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin.
After a competitive playoff between the three, Folwer defeated the other two golfers by a margin of a single stroke. He not just won the Rocket Mortgage Classic, but also saved his PGA Tour card.
