His lead was down to a single shot after just five holes, and the stress followed him the rest of the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The clincher for Clark was one of his worst drives of the day on the par-5 16th. He gouged that out and narrowly cleared a bunker. His 8-iron barely stayed on the back of the green. And he rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt that gave him a two-shot lead with two holes to play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=3278\">Brady Tkachuk traded from Senators to Panthers, where he will team up with his brother Matthew (reports)<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><span>It was a signature moment with muted applause.
