Wyndham Clark finally breaks silence after being banned from US Open course
Wyndham Clark has finally broken his silence after destroying his locker at Oakmont Country Club and receiving a ban from the course. Clark lost his temper on June 16 at this year's US Open and destroyed two locker doors - resulting in Oakmont CC president John Lynch banning the American from the property. More than a month later, Clark has apologized for his actions - and revealed his future at Oakmont is unclear. 'That's up to them,' Clark told reporters on Sunday from The Open, via ESPN. 'I really don't know. I would hope so. It's a fantastic course and place, but that's up to them. 'I did something awful, and I'm really sorry for it. Hopefully, they have it in their heart to forgive me, and maybe in the future I'll be able to play there.' In a letter sent out to the members of the club, Lynch said that the ban could be lifted if Clark pays for the damages, makes a 'meaningful contribution' to a charity of Oakmont's choosing, and undergoes counseling and/or anger management therapy. While Clark called it a 'no-brainer' to pay for the damages, he seemed taken aback that his transgressions were made public. 'We were hoping it was going to be private,' he said. 'I'll just leave it at that.' Oakmont won't host the US Open again until 2033, when Clark will be 40 years old. He won the event in 2023, giving him a 10-year exemption in the competition. This year, he missed the cut after bogeying the final hole of round two. Clark, who also had an anger incident at the PGA Championship in May, touched on the mental struggles he's been working to improve in the last two years. 'I've been pretty open about my mental shift and change to get better, and I did that in '23 and '24, and then having a tough year and all the expectations and just frustration all coming together, and I did two stupid things,' he said. 'But one thing that it did do is wake me up and get me back into the person I know I am and the person I want to be. 'I hope those things don't reflect because I don't think they reflect on who I am, and going forward that stuff is not going to happen again.' During the PGA Championship at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, Clark let out his frustration at the course's 16th hole during the second round by violently whipping his driver backwards - destroying an advertising board. After that incident, he said his actions were 'uncalled for', and that it was' 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. Clark's mea culpa on Sunday came after a strong finish at Portrush, as he tied for fourth at the tournament with a six-under final round.

American golf star ordered to attend anger management and counseling after destroying his locker at US Open
One former major champion's angry outburst at this year's US Open has gotten him banned from Oakmont Country Club due to his destructive behavior. After the frustrating conditions in western Pennsylvania, former US Open winner Wyndham Clark went berzerk in the locker room - destroying the doors to two lockers in the historic clubhouse. As a result of his actions, Oakmont CC president John Lynch banned Clark from the property after consulting with the United States Golf Association and the club's board. Lynch sent a letter out to members of the prestigious country club, informing them of the decision. In that letter, Lynch said that the ban could be lifted if Clark pays for the damages, makes a 'meaningful contribution' to a charity of Oakmont's choosing, and undergoes counseling and/or anger management therapy. Oakmont doesn't host another US Open until 2033. By then, Clark will be the age of 40. 'Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior,' Lynch wrote in the letter. 'Following multiple discussions with the USGA and the OCC Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property. 'This decision will remain in effect unless formally reconsidered and approved by the Board.' Clark, who won the event at the Los Angeles Country Club in 2023, missed the cut after bogeying the final hole of round two. 'I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows,' Clark told reporters the following week at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut. 'I made a mistake that I deeply regret. 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 the year and things that come up.' This is not the only outburst that Clark has had this year. During the PGA Championship at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, Clark let out his frustration at the course's 16th hole during the second round by violently whipping his driver backwards - destroying an advertising board. In a statement at the time, Clark said, 'I would like to sincerely apologize for my behavior yesterday 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 better the way I handle my frustrations on the course going forward, and hope you can all forgive me in due time.' Since winning the US Open at the Los Angeles Country Club in 2023, Clark has missed the cut in four of eight major tournament appearances. His best finish since that win was at the Open Championship in 2023 at Royal Liverpool.
