Wyndham Clark expresses remorse for the dysfunctional impact arising from his US Open heated outburst backstage.
Y'know, Wyndham Clark's lately been under the radar due to his outburst at the Oakmont Country Club locker room.
Photos surfaced online a while back, showcasing some damaged lockers—all fingers pointing to Wyndham as the offender.
Recently, he's finally spilled the beans and acknowledged his culpability. Speaking for the first time on the subject, he expressed his deep regret and offered a sincere apology.
This unfortunate event transpired after he failed to pass the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open in Pennsylvania, scoring a 4-over-par 74 in both the opening and second rounds. That small margin was enough to squash his major championship dreams before the weekend even began.
Folks were left seething over Clark's behavior, and some even shouted for him to be banned temporarily.
But now Clark's pleading for everyone to chill and let bygones be bygones. During a chat following the first round of the Travelers Championship, he admitted, "I've had my fair share of ups and downs this year, especially some downers. I made a blunder that I deeply regret. I'm truly sorry for what happened."
He then went on to say, "I'd also like to move on, not only for myself but for Oakmont, the USGA, and concentrate on the remainder of this season."
It's worth mentioning that Clark's impressive 64-score during the first round at TPC River Highlands left him tying with none other than Rory McIlroy.
When queried about the locker room incident, Clark decided to confront the issue head-on. His earlier transgression won't stop him from focusing on making amends and improving his game. But that's not all, he and Matthieu Pavon are set to tee off at 5:10 PM UK time, or 12:10 PM local time, for the second round action.
This incident isn't a first for Clark; he lost it during the final round at the 2025 PGA Championship too. After a sloppy swing down the 16th, he hurled his driver at the advertising boards, narrowly missing a marshal. Though he apologized then, the memories linger on.
Remember, we're talking about the guy who won the 2023 U.S. Open. However, his form's taken a dive lately; he's missed the cut in the last three major championships and hasn't snagged a top-20 placement since March 2025. Despite the heat he's facing, Clark remains devoted to beefing up his game, hopefully landing a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team and staying competitive in the FedEx Cup race.
In conclusion, Clark's locker room chaos is just the latest in a string of controversies he's encountered this season. But the man's got his sights set on making a comeback, so let's see if he can keep his head in the game and live up to his potential.
Wyndham Clark's focus has now shifted from the locker room incident at Oakmont Country Club to improving his game in sports, particularly golf. Amidst the controversy, he is preparing to play alongside Matthieu Pavon in the second round of the Travelers Championship.
