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.'
