Wyndham Clark's lead fades at BMW Championship amid girlfriend distraction comments

Wyndham Clark held a comfortable five-stroke cushion heading into the final round of the BMW Championship, having credited his girlfriend Emily Tanner for helping him stay present and calm. He explained that her presence served as a positive distraction during his preparation. However, on Sunday he struggled, posting a four-over-par round that erased his advantage.

By the end of the day he was level with Rory McIlroy at 14 under par with three holes left. The collapse prompted speculation about whether his routine with Tanner needs adjustment. Clark still has an opportunity to recover the lead in the remaining holes.
