Wyndham Clark addresses locker room outburst at US Open: "I made a mistake"

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.  

No Laying Up's Tron Carter was the first to report allegations of Clark's outburst and even posted a photograph of the damage. 

Clark had stayed silent over what transpired until he was asked to address the issue after the first round of 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. 

"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 with Travelers, coming out of college, you don't know what to expect. 

"It was my first ever Tour event, and having a little faith in me to give me that start -- obviously I didn't play very well, but I remember leaving that year saying, okay, I'm going to win here someday.

"I love this place, and it's special to me. So regardless if that happens, I'm always excited to come back to this course, this tournament. 

"They treat us so well. Travelers does an amazing job. I'm happy to be here."
