Some golf fans have accused Wyndham Clark of causing his golf ball to move during the final round of the 2023 US Open at Los Angeles Country Club.
Wyndham Clark won the 2023 US Open - but some golf fans are convinced the rightful champion should be Rory McIlroy.
Some eagle-eyed viewers who stayed up to watch the finale at Los Angeles Country Club have accused Clark of causing his ball to move.
The footage was clipped and re-shared online and it shows Clark trying to decide which club to use on a greenside chip as he was playing the back nine.

Golf fans were quick to condemn Clark.
Comments included:
Clark went on to win the third major of the year by one stroke, meaning that McIlroy's wait to end his nine-year drought drags on.

McIlroy was of course bitterly disappointed but later said he would endure 'another 100 Sundays like this' to win another major.
