Wyndham Clark addresses locker room outburst at US Open: “I made a mistake”
Wyndham Clark has apologised for damaging a locker room door at Oakmont after he missed the cut at the 2025 US Open.
Wyndham Clark says he deeply regrets damaging the locker room at Oakmont after he missed the cut at the 2025 US Open.
Clark missed the cut by one stroke at the third men’s major of the year and rumours surfaced that he had taken out his frustrations on his designated locker.
Tron Carter of No Laying Up was the first to report the allegations about Clark’s outburst, even sharing a photo showing the damage.
Clark hadn’t commented on the incident until he was questioned about it following his opening round at the Travelers Championship on the PGA Tour.
I mean, I’ve had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows,” the former US Open champion said.
“I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I’m very sorry for what happened.”
Clark said that he would now like to put the incident behind him.
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 this year and things that come up,” he said.
Clark’s form this season means that the golfer could be in a situation where he needs to put up a strong performance at The Open next month to try and clinch his spot on Keegan Bradley’s Ryder Cup team.
He won his maiden major title at Los Angeles Country Club in 2023 but has since struggled for form.
The 31-year-old has fallen to 23rd in the US Ryder Cup standings.
And he’s also in danger of missing out on the FedEx Cup playoffs at this rate.
Watch here:
“I still want to try to make the Ryder Cup team,” Clark said.
“I still am on the outside looking in for the FedExCup. So I’m starting to move on and focus on those things.”
Clark got off to a good start at the final signature event of the season in Connecticut.
He fired a 6-under 64 in the morning wave.
“This place has always been kind of special to me,” he added.
“Getting my first start at the Travelers Championship right out of college, I didn’t really know what to expect. It was my debut on the Tour, and I’m grateful they believed in me enough to give me that opportunity. I didn’t play great that year, but I left thinking, ‘One day, I’m going to win here.’
This place means a lot to me—I genuinely love it. Whether or not that win ever comes, I always look forward to returning to this course and tournament. The way we’re treated is exceptional. Travelers does a fantastic job, and I’m always glad to be part of it.”
