Wyndham Clark Banned From Oakmont

Following an outburst of temper when he missed the cut in last month’s U.S. Open, the 2023 champion Wyndham Clark seriously damaged two lockers in the historic Oakmont locker room.

Upon being called to publicly apologize, Clark made this lame attempt:

“I’ve had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year, some lows. 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.”

Sorry, Wyndham. You might want to move on, but the OCC and USGA don’t.

Following consultations between the two organizations, Clark is banned from the Oakmont property until 2033. Oakmont Country Club president Johhn Lynch sent this letter to OCC members:

“Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior. 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 can be reinstated by paying for the damages, making a “meaningful contribution” to a charity selected by the country club’s board, and undergoing some type of counseling or anger management therapy.

Earlier this year, at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Clark threw his club, snapping off the driver head. To make matters worse, Clark broke a T-Mobile sign, which is his sponsor.
