Wyndham Clark Breaks Silence After Damaging Oakmont Country Club's Locker Room
Wyndham Clark Breaks Silence After Damaging Oakmont Country Club's Locker Room originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The challenges faced by the golfers at last week's U.S. Open were well-documented. One golfer who appeared to allow his emotions get the best of him was Wyndham Clark. Advertisement The 31-year-old golfer was alleged to have damaged two lockers at the historic Oakmont Country Club. "No Laying Up" podcast host Tron Carter confirmed via social media that multiple sources knew the locker-room damage was placed squarely on Clark. On Thursday, Clark addressed his misdeeds and attempted to take accountability. "I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows," said Clark. "I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I'm very sorry for what happened. But I'd also like to move on, not only for myself but for Oakmont, for the USGA, and kind of focus on the rest of this year." This year's U.S. Open was a difficult event for the entire field. Clark's lashing out in the Oakmont locker room came after he failed to make the cut. The eventual winner, J.J. Spaun, finished the four-day event with just a 1-under-par final total as every other golfer finished above par.

Clark issued an apology after that incident as well. Rory McIlroy, the world's No. 2 golfer, also unleashed some frustration during his play at Oakmont. He threw his club after a poor tee shot, smashing a nearby tee marker during last Friday's round. Clark, a Denver, Colorado, native, is still seeking his first PGA win this season. He has played in 16 events in 2025, with one top-10 finish and four top-25 finishes. He has made 12 cuts, missed three and had one withdrawal.

Major winner 'very sorry' for damaging Oakmont lockers
Wyndham Clark has delivered an apology for damaging Oakmont Country Club lockers in anger last week at the US Open. Clark missed the cut at the third major championship of the season, going 74-74 (eight over par) through two rounds. On Saturday, social media posts from golf podcaster Todd "Tron Carter" Schuster of "No Laying Up" showed photos he obtained from the Oakmont locker room. Two of the lockers' doors were seriously damaged, with Schuster connecting it to Clark. Oakmont officials later confirmed Clark's locker had been damaged. Clark was asked about the incident Thursday at the Travelers Championship after he opened with a six-under 64. "Yeah, I mean, I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows," Clark said. "I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I'm very sorry for what happened." "But I'd also like to move on, not only for myself but for Oakmont, for the USGA, and kind of focus on the rest of this year and things that come up. "I still want to try to make the Ryder Cup team. I still am on the outside looking in for the FedEx Cup. So I'm starting to move on and focus on those things." Clark did not comment further on the matter. It was not known whether he had apologised directly to Oakmont. It was the second straight major where Clark, the 2023 US Open champion, had to apologise for aggressive behaviour. At the PGA Championship in May, following a poor drive, Clark threw his driver toward the back of the tee box. It crashed into signage with a volunteer standing mere feet away, and the head of the club snapped off.

Shamed Wyndham Clark apologises for Oakmont vandalism as US Open champion breaks his silence
The former US Open is in the dock for a second time in 2025 after smashed lockers Shamed Wyndham Clark has said sorry for his Oakmont vandalism and deeply regrets his actions in a second grovelling apology of 2025. The 2023 US Open champion has been slaughtered following the images and shock vandalism accusations which emerged from inside the hallowed locker room at last week's Major. Clark missed the cut at the tournament by a stroke after a frustrating Friday and had social-media fingers pointers at him after images were posted of damage inside the clubhouse. No Laying Up's Tron Carter claimed from 'multiple sources' that Clark 'really got after it' in the locker room with Nuclr Golf picking up on the post and stating: Additionally, Clark recently destroyed a T-mobile sign at the PGA Championship not long ago. Is this behaviour acceptable? Clark has now spoken after the first round at the Travelers Championship to come clean, apologise and ask for the matter to be put behind him. When it was put to him that some posts and photographs had come out of Oakmont and asked if he'd like to comment, he said: 'Yeah, I mean, I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows. "And I made a mistake that I deeply regret and I'm very sorry for what happened. "But I'd also like to move on, not only for myself, but for Oakmont, for the USGA and kind of focus on the rest of this year and things that come up. "I still want to try to make the Ryder Cup team. I still am on the outside looking in for the FedEx Cup, so I'm starting to move on and focus on those things.' Clark has struggled in recent times and slipped down the world rankings and he was also forced to apologise for an angry outburst at last month's PGA Championship. The American hit a bad tee-shot on the 16th during his final round at Quail Hollow and immediately turned and launched his driver behind him with both hands out of frustration. The club went slamming into the sponsor wall with the head flying off the shaft. Clark was also caned for that behaviour and quickly posted an apology on social-media the following day which read: 'I would like to sincerely apologise for my behaviour on Hole 16. "As professionals, we are expected to remain professional even when frustrated and I unfortunately let my emotions get the best of me. "My actions were uncalled for and completely inappropriate, making it clear that I have things I need to work on. "I hold myself to a high standard, trying to always play for something bigger than myself, and yesterday I fell short of those standards. "For that I am truly sorry. I promise to be better the way I handle my frustrations on the course going forward, and hope you all can forgive me in due time.'

Wyndham Clark confirms that he damaged lockers at Oakmont: 'I made a mistake'
Wyndham Clark fired a 6-under 64 Thursday in the first round of the Travelers Championship, his best round since late March. But all most reporters wanted to talk about was last week's report that Clark damaged multiple lockers following his U.S. Open missed cut Friday at Oakmont Country Club. A photo, shared to social media by No Laying Up's Tron Carter, showed the lattice panels of two bottom lockers appearing to be kicked in. Clark confirmed he was the culprit, though he didn't provide much aside from a quick apology. 'I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows,' Clark said. 'I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I'm very sorry for what happened. 'But I'd also like to move on, not only for myself but for Oakmont, for the USGA, and kind of focus on the rest of this year and things that come up. I still want to try to make the Ryder Cup team. I still am on the outside looking in for the FedExCup. So I'm starting to move on and focus on those things.' Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, entered this week's final signature event of the season ranked No. 80 in FedExCup points and No. 23 in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings.
