Homa compared the anti-Clark crowd atmosphere to a Ryder Cup.

“It felt like a Ryder Cup except the US person won, which is not a thing we do at the Ryder Cup”

Homa said Clark could reverse the narrative by openly accepting the criticism.

“if he gets up there and just kind of says, no, it's cool. I'm good with it. And like he said, I deserve it. I think it'll flip around”

Homa rejected the idea that Clark won because of weather luck, noting half the field shared it.

“I hate when people say that he got lucky. I mean, so did half of the field”

Homa said Clark's 16th-hole eagle shot required rare clubhead speed.

“you need so much speed to hit a ball that high and curve it that much and hit it that far”

Homa complained that the fescue and bunkers were not penal enough at Shinnecock.

“My complaint this week as a fan of Carnage, I didn't think the fescue did anything”
