Former US Open champion Wyndham Clark is facing allegations of causing a disturbance in the locker room, reportedly damaging player lockers at Oakmont Country Club. This incident follows his unexpected victory at the 2023 US Open, where he triumphed at the Los Angeles Country Club, marking a significant achievement considering his previous best finish in a major was tied for 75th.

Clark’s recent performance at Oakmont was disappointing; he missed the cut with a score of 8-over par after carding two rounds of 74. The challenging conditions at the course left many esteemed players struggling, and Clark opted out of speaking to the media after his rounds. Soon after, social media circulated a photo showing caved-in locker doors, with claims linking the damage to Clark. Numerous reports have attempted to solicit a response from him, but he has remained silent on the matter.

Earlier this year, during the PGA Championship, Clark apologised publicly after a fit of anger led him to throw his driver, causing damage to a sponsor’s sign and nearly hitting a volunteer. This outburst drew criticism from the golfing community, with calls for disciplinary action. At that time, some questioned whether his subsequent apology was crafted with the help of AI, suggesting a lack of genuine remorse.

While fines for inappropriate conduct can occur in professional golf, they are typically not disclosed, leading to ongoing debates about accountability in the sport. Clark had publicly committed to improving his temperamental responses during competitions following the earlier incident, but these recent allegations have put his character under scrutiny once again.
