Wyndham Clark has done it again!

TJ and Owen recap the extremely eventful final round of the US Open at Shinnecock Hills. What we all thought could have just been a runaway became a ver suspenseful end to another phenomenal US Open. With the course playing extremely tough only 3 players ended under par. However, that does match the only 3 players to even finish under par by the previous 654 golfers to ever compete in a US Open at Shinnecock. Cheers to Wyndham and cheers to TJ with a very productive weekend of golf betting thanks to both Clark and Burns!
