On Sunday, Wyndham Clark had a chance to force a playoff at The Players Championship in Florida, but instead they fell victim to one of the most painful endings in PGA history. Clark had the last shot but his putt barely dipped into the cup on the left side and came out on the right side, leaving him speechless as he placed his hand over his mouth.
