Wyndham Clark admits he 'made a mistake,' expresses regret over US Open locker room tirade

Wyndham Clark's frustration about missing the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open boiled over in the locker room. Clark and other top pro golfers had a rough go at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. The course's notoriously challenging conditions prompted Clark to unleash his fury on the lockers in the famed clubhouse. On Thursday, the 2023 U.S. Open champion addressed his actions. "Yeah, I mean, I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows. I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I'm very sorry for what happened," Clark said Thursday at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut when asked to comment on what transpired in the Oakmont locker room. "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 the year and things that come up." A photo surfaced on social media last week showing damaged doors of multiple lockers. J.J. Spaun, this year's U.S. Open winner, finished the tournament at 1-under par. No other competitor managed to finish under par after 72 holes. While Clark has experienced some special moments in his career, the 31-year-old's last nine months have largely been disappointing. He had just one top 10 finish during that span and dropped to No. 27 in golf's world rankings. Clark ended the opening round at the Travelers Championship on Thursday with a 64.

Rory McIlroy Makes Exciting Admission Ahead of Travelers Championship

Rory McIlroy Makes Exciting Admission Ahead of Travelers Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Since winning the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam, Rory McIlroy has been candid about his struggles to find motivation and recapture the competitive drive that fueled his rise on the PGA Tour—and it's shown in his recent performances. Advertisement After missing the cut at the RBC Canadian Open, McIlroy struggled again at Oakmont in the U.S. Open. However, he bounced back with a solid final round on Sunday, shooting a 67 to climb the leaderboard and finish 19th overall at 7-over par. That Sunday surge may have been exactly what he needed to regain some momentum heading into the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands, which begins Thursday. The course is known for being birdie-friendly—something McIlroy highlighted in an encouraging admission on Wednesday. 'I missed this event last year, licking my wounds from Pinehurst, but I made a commitment to Travelers to be back this year. I'm excited to be back,' McIlroy said. 'After a week like I had at Oakmont last week, where you're not quite in the mix but feel like you've found something in your game, you're excited to come back and play again.' He continued, 'Yeah, looking forward to the week. This is the perfect sort of chaser for what Oakmont was last week, and it's nice to get out on a golf course where you feel like you can make quite a few birdies.'

He picked up wins at both the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Players Championship before capturing his first green jacket.
