Clark, who teed off last with Fowler at 3:40 p.m. local time (6:40 p.m. ET) and concluded their round at 7:56 p.m. (10:56 p.m. ET) at Los Angeles Country Club, attributed his bogey on the 17th hole and Fowler’s bogey on the 18th hole to the diminishing daylight.
“It’s a bit absurd that we teed off that late,” expressed Clark. “Around hole 15 or 16, visibility started to become an issue. Personally, I don’t understand why we played twilight golf. It’s tough and somewhat crazy to think that we experienced these conditions on the last two holes of a major when we could have teed off two hours earlier. Hopefully, we won’t face the same problem tomorrow.”
Clark and Fowler are scheduled to tee off at 5:30 p.m. (ET) on Sunday.
The USGA, responsible for organizing the U.S. Open and determining tee times, has not provided an immediate response to Clark’s comments. The late tee times on Saturday allowed NBC to broadcast the tournament during prime time.
