Wyndham Clark Expresses Eagerness to Rectify the Issue - Clark Vows to Right Wrongs Following US Open Incident That Sparked Oakmont Ban
In the aftermath of his controversial actions at Oakmont and the PGA Championship, professional golfer Wyndham Clark has found himself in a challenging situation. The club has handed him an indefinite ban from the property, following an incident in which Clark caused damage to the locker room.
Clark, who won the US Open in 2023, has expressed a desire to make amends for his actions. He has announced he will donate to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy to repair the damage he caused and apologize to the community during his reconciliation with the Oakmont Club.
The golfer has not publicly discussed specific steps he is taking to make amends beyond paying for the damages and making a charitable contribution. He hopes his apology and future actions will show the Oakmont community who he truly is.
In a letter obtained by Golf Digest, Oakmont president John Lynch outlined steps for Clark to have a chance of getting the ban lifted. These steps include full repayment for damages, a charitable contribution, and completion of counseling or anger management sessions.
Clark has admitted that his actions were due to frustration and a tough year, and he has mentioned a mental shift and change to get better in 2023 and 2024. He has also stated that his actions do not reflect who he is and that such incidents will not happen again.
Despite his hope of finding a way to make amends, Clark did not express any expectation about the ban being lifted. He has also admitted he would have preferred the letter had stayed private.
As the winner of the 2023 US Open, Clark could potentially be eligible to play in the tournament at Oakmont in 2033, depending on the outcome of the ban. However, for now, Clark is focusing on improving his temperament and giving back to the Oakmont community to show who he really is.
Clark achieved a T4 finish at The Open and is determined to put his past mistakes behind him and focus on his golf career. He is working hard to regain the trust of the Oakmont community and prove that the incident was not a reflection of who he is and will not happen again.
