During a stop on his media victory tour following his U.S. Open win last weekend, Wyndham Clark was asked about an old tweet of his about a current NFL starting quarterback.
The tweet in question is from December 2016 when the quarterback was a college football star at Oklahoma. Clark played golf at Oklahoma State that year before transferring to Oregon.
It would have been a decent guess that the golfer’s "I hate baker mayfield" tweet was related to the rivalry between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, but that’s not the case.

During an appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast, which aired on Wednesday, Clark was asked about the almost 10-year-old post. He revealed that he understandably fired off the post after an ex-girlfriend of his cheated on him with Mayfield.
"I'm trying to decide if I should tell the story. Alright, screw it, I don't care. People already hate me… My girlfriend at the time cheated on me with Baker Mayfield," Clark said.
"But here's what I would say… I'm actually a Baker fan now, I think he's a homie. That's your initial response, ‘Screw that guy.’ But really it's screw the… she cheated on me."
All that is behind Clark now. He’s not still holding a grudge against Baker. He’s hoping that the two athletes can become bros and go golfing after finally revealing the story behind the tweet.
"This is personal. I hope this is a bro moment for us to be like, ‘Oh, bro, I didn’t know. My bad. She never told me,’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, it’s all good, we’re homies, let’s play golf.’ That’s where I hope this comes from."
Let's get these two on the course together. There's no need for a cheating ex-girlfriend to come between them. Baker's a married man now and Clark has moved on with golf's newest star.
