Wyndham Clark reportedly damages lockers in Oakmont clubhouse at 2025 U.S. Open
Wyndham Clark seemingly finds himself in hot water yet again for the second straight major championship.
After apologizing for his behavior late in the 2025 PGA Championship, Clark is taking more heat for alleged damage he caused to lockers inside the famed clubhouse at Oakmont Country Club, site of the 2025 U.S. Open.
Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion who missed the cut by a shot after shooting consecutive 4-over 74s on Thursday and Friday, allegedly took his frustrations out in the locker room after a bogey on the final hole resulted in him missing the weekend.
Golfweek attempted to contact Clark about the alleged incident but was unable to reach him as of 10:45 a.m. ET.
Last month, Clark damaged a T-Mobile sign during the final round of the PGA Championship, prompting him to apologize on social media the next day.
"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.
Since finishing T-5 at the Texas Children's Houston Open, Clark has made eight starts but his best finish is T-27. He has missed only two cuts after this week, but he hasn't finished better than T-50 in nearly two months.
Those frustrations reportedly boiled over at Oakmont, and he was far from the only golfer to express frustration throughout the week. Rory McIlroy, the Masters champion and world No. 2, threw a golf club and smashed a tee marker during Friday's second round.

Aaron Glenn gets emotional as the reality of being the Jets' head coach 'hit me pretty hard'
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The reality of the situation finally hit Aaron Glenn. More than seven months after being hired by the New York Jets, the first-time NFL head coach got surprisingly emotional Saturday. And it had nothing to do with the 12 penalties called on his team during practice. 'I'm sure this is going to hit at some point, but I told the players this: The first time since I became head coach, today was the first day it really hit me,' Glenn said to open his post-practice news conference. "And it hit me once I heard the fans give the 'J-E-T-S' chant. 'And I don't know why, but it just hit me.' The 53-year-old Glenn was drafted by the Jets in the first round in 1994 and played for the franchise for eight of his 15 NFL seasons. The three-time Pro Bowl cornerback was also a personnel scout for New York for two seasons and a longtime assistant coach, most recently as Detroit's defensive coordinator for four seasons, before getting the chance to lead his former team. 'It hit me pretty hard,' Glenn said, his voice cracking slightly. "Man, I am so thankful. I'm thankful for this organization that gave me a shot. I'm thankful for this organization that gave me my second shot at becoming a coach. 'I don't know why, fellas. But it hit me and hit me pretty hard, and, man, I just feel grateful. Grateful to be in this position.' Glenn, along with new general manager Darren Mougey, faces the task of turning around the fortunes of a franchise that has the NFL's longest active playoff drought at 14 seasons. He has talked several times since being hired in January about changing the culture around the Jets and building them into a consistent winner by stressing fundamentals and competition. But with the team practicing in front of packed stands for its annual scrimmage at the facility, Glenn couldn't shake his emotions — especially when he heard the fans. 'Yeah, I was,' Glenn said when asked if he was surprised he felt that way. 'I thought it had already hit me.' One thing Glenn has focused on during training camp is cutting down on penalties after the Jets were called for the most in the league in each of the past two seasons. He has officials at every practice to try to get players to understand how plays will be called. But it didn't seem to help much Saturday. The Jets had 12 penalties called on them during what Glenn called a 'pseudo scrimmage,' including several holding calls. 'There are a lot of things we've got to clean up and the one thing I'm sure everybody saw is the penalties,' the coach said. 'I'm glad we had the refs out there because that's one thing we want to hit — we want to make sure we hit those hard. And I want them to ref it just like it was a game and I thought they did a good job of that.' It made for a sloppy practice as Justin Fields and the rest of offense, including the backups, struggled throughout the session. Some calls even had the fans booing. 'There's no excuses,' Glenn said. 'Our players understand that. We know penalties, they're discipline issues and we've got to make sure we are more disciplined in aspects on both sides of the ball. We will get those cleaned up, I promise you that. But there's a lot of work to do.' Cornerback ace Kris Boyd left the field on a cart after injuring a shoulder during special teams drills. He went down on the sideline and was writhing in pain while he was looked at by trainers. Glenn had no immediate word on his condition. Glenn said wide receiver Xavier Gipson also injured a shoulder on the final play of practice when he tried to catch a pass in the end zone. Safety Jaylin Simpson was sidelined with a hamstring injury.

The Jets job was the only one for Aaron Glenn — but it won't be easy
The Jets were stretching before practice Saturday when Aaron Glenn heard the familiar refrain. 'J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets,' the fans in attendance chanted. Glenn first heard that chant in 1994 in the old stadium at The Meadowlands as a rookie cornerback. Now, he was hearing it as the man in charge. Glenn has been on the job since January, but he had a moment Saturday when he realized it was real. 'Today was the first day that it really hit me,' Glenn said. 'It hit me once I heard the fans give the J-E-T-S chant. I don't know why, but it just hit me. It hit me pretty hard. Man, I'm so thankful. I'm thankful to the organization that gave me a shot. I'm thankful to the organization that gave me a second shot at becoming a coach. I don't know why fellas, but it hit me and hit me pretty hard. I just felt grateful to be in this position.'

Fever's Sophie Cunningham Gets Honest About Caitlin Clark's Injury
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. The Indiana Fever have suffered through a rough season when it comes to superstar guard Caitlin Clark. She has struggled with injuries all season long and remains out due to her groin injury. Despite not having their superstar player, the Fever have remained very competitive. In fact, they have won four straight games and now hold a 16-12 record. So far this season, Indiana has remained a playoff contender. If Clark can get healthy, the Fever could still make a championship run. However, they need her back on the court to make that kind of a run.

Read more: Caitlin Clark Facing Backlash After Fever Star's Latest Off-Court Move Recently, Indiana teammate spoke out about Clark's injury. She called the groin issue "weird" when describing it. "It's such, like, a weird injury," Cunningham said. "She's not in pain all the time. But when you do hurt it you're out for I think they're trying to be like extra cautious so she doesn't kind of have those little setbacks." Clark has only been able to play in 13 of the team's 28 games this season. When she has played, the injuries have caused a clear issue for her and she hasn't been able to find a rhythm. During the 2025 season, Clark has averaged 16.5 points per game to go along with 8.8 assists, five rebounds, and 1.6 steals. She has only shot 36.7 percent from the floor and 27.9 percent from three-point range. Those numbers clearly are not the kind of WNBA MVP production that many expected to see from the 23-year-old superstar.

Once she reaches that point, Clark will be back on the floor. No one knows if that point will come this season, but Indiana and its fans are holding out hope that she can return in 2025. Expect to hear more about Clark's injury in the near future. For now, it's a "weird" injury that has cost one of the most entertaining players in the WNBA far too many games.
