Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, was among many who couldn't tame Oakmont, shooting back-to-back 74s to finish 8-over to miss the cut.
One alleged photo of the damage made its way around social media, as two bottom portions of lockers were completely caved in.
Fox News Digital reached out to Clark's representatives for comment.
Clark has not commented on the allegation and didn't speak to the media after the second round, but he does have a history of letting his frustration get the best of him.

During the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club last month, Clark damaged a T-Mobile sign during his final round. He ended up apologizing for his actions.
'I promise to better the way I handle my frustrations on the course going forward, and hope you all can forgive me in due time,' Clark wrote on social media in response.

The U.S. Open is designed to be the hardest four rounds any golfer will see during the year, and it's certainly delivered. Oakmont has hosted this tournament 10 times, and the glass-like greens and extremely thick rough can always turn head-scratchers into all-out fits of rage.
Rory McIlroy was among them during his second round on Friday, smashing a tee marker and throwing a club over his 18 holes.

One of his best friends, Shane Lowry, had an awful time over his two rounds to the point where a hot mic caught him saying, 'F— this place,' after a short putt lipped out.
But while these moments were on the course, Clark apparently didn't get it all out. It will be interesting to see if he responds to these allegations following the final round on Sunday.

'Following that, while standing in front of me doing the safety protocols, he continued to lean over to look at my phone,' Richardson said then in an Instagram story. 'He asked to see that my phones were in airplane mode at this point. He demanded that me show him. Which I did in front of him.'
