who climbed the leaderboard with a third-round 63 at TPC Toronto<\/a><\/span> that left him tied for second when he completed his round with the leaders still playing the opening nine \u2013 donned a Team USA men\u2019s hockey sweater while playing \u201cThe Rink\u201d 14th hole with Jack Hughes\u2019 name on it. Hughes was a hero for Team USA at this year\u2019s Olympics, where the Americans defeated Canada, 2-1, in the Gold Medal game.<\/p>\nIt was an eventful and loud moment for Clark, who hit his tee shot to 4 feet at the par-3 14th hole and converted the birdie putt amid a chorus of boos, but it wasn\u2019t as eventful as it was to find the Team USA jersey.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn Thursday we get up to The Rink and I\u2019m like, Dang it, why didn\u2019t we bring a USA hockey jersey,\u201d said Clark, who tried to order a jersey online but couldn\u2019t get it shipped to Canada in time.<\/p>\n
But during Friday\u2019s second round, Clark saw a fan wearing the Hughes sweater and asked if he could buy it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to ship it back to him,\u201d Clark said. \u201cObviously, I got a ton of boos. I was doing it to more celebrate USA\u2019s win, it had nothing against Canada, but I just thought in hockey country it would be kind of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clark, who heard plenty from the Canadian crowds during the \u201924 Presidents Cup, said he was nervous over the birdie putt on No. 14.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were booing me all the way up even right before I putted,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I miss that then it looks really bad. So, I\u2019m glad I birdied it. I think some guys came up and said, \u2018You got stones, you know, that was pretty impressive.\u2019 It was all fun and games.\u201d<\/p>\n
