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.'

U.S. Open: Players Defend Wyndham Clark's Locker Room Destruction
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. So much has been made this week of Oakmont Country Club's carnage created for players at the 2025 U.S. Open. More players finished worse than 20-over par than are in red figures. Just think about that. The cut line landed at +7, with several stars falling below including defending champion Bryson DeChambeau. But so too did the 2023 U.S. Open winner, Wyndham Clark. Clark bogeyed his 36th and final hole to miss the cut by a single stroke. Afterward, he allegedly took out his frustration on the members locker rooms at Oakmont Country Club. 🚨🥾🚪 #NEW: Wyndham Clark allegedly damaged several lockers in the change room at Oakmont Country Club following a missed cut, per @TronCarterNLU. Additionally, Clark recently destroyed a T-mobile sign at the PGA Championship not long ago. Is this behaviour acceptable? — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) June 15, 2025 Images of the destruction surfaced, prompting fans reactions. But after news of the incident surfaced, pro golfers have come to his defense. "This is minimal regards what I've seen other players do. Players you would never expect. Oakmont will test any players mental fortitude. Seen it in person. Guess who? 2016," Graeme McDowell cryptically posted. Interestingly, the 2016 U.S. Open he is referencing also was played at Oakmont.

OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 12: Wyndham Clark of the United States (L) and Matt Fitzpatrick of England walk off the seventh tee during the first round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 12, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. (Photo by) More"I have inflicted severe Locker destruction through the years at US Opens and paid my fines. Generally they have been our temporary build lockers. Not members lockers. Not that that's an excuse. Generally it's been when I've felt the USGA have pushed the limits over the edge 🤦🏼♂️," Ian Poulter then replied to the tweet. This was not the first time Clark has left his own carnage behind. A month ago, he flung his golf club and damaged the T-Mobile sign at the PGA Championship. That prompted an extensive apology from the former U.S. Open winner on social media. That begs the question whether Clark will post anything after his latest reported outburst. Will he receive any fines? After the two best years of his professional career in 2023 and 2024, things have not gone well in 2025. In 16 events, Clark has missed the cut four times and has just one top 10. More Golf: Scottie Scheffler Reveals Feeling Being 'Hit by a Bus' at U.S. Open

Wyndham Clark tantrum reportedly behind U.S. Open locker room damage
Wyndham Clark tantrum reportedly behind U.S. Open locker room damage 🚨🥾🚪 #NEW: Wyndham Clark allegedly damaged several lockers in the change room at Oakmont Country Club following a missed cut, per @TronCarterNLU. Additionally, Clark recently destroyed a T-mobile sign at the PGA Championship not long ago. Is this behaviour acceptable? — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) June 15, 2025 2023 U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark missed the cut at this year's tournament, succumbing to the rough conditions of Oakmont Country Club like many others this weekend. Unlike others, Clark apparently didn't handle the loss very well. That's according to images of a couple damaged lockers in the Oakmont locker room and a report from No Laying Up's Tron Carter confirming that Clark was behind the damage. If true, this would be the latest blow up from Clark in what's possibly becoming a pattern after he tossed his club into some signage after a bad drive at last month's PGA Championship -- something he later apologized for. Clark shot 8-over at Oakmont, bowing out Friday one stroke short of the cut.
