Wyndham Clark’s frustration about missing the cut in the 2025 U.S. Open reportedly spilled into the locker room at Oakmont Country Club. The challenging conditions at Oakmont, known for its notoriously difficult terrain and glass-like greens, have left many top golfers struggling this week. Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, was among those unable to tame the course, shooting back-to-back 74s to finish 8-over, which fell short of the cut. His frustration reportedly manifested in an incident where he allegedly damaged lockers in the clubhouse, with a photo circulating online showing two bottom portions of lockers completely caved in.
This incident mirrors a similar outburst at the 2025 PGA Championship, where Clark reportedly damaged a T-Mobile sign during the final round. In response, Clark issued an apology on social media, vowing to improve his handling of frustration. However, his locker room aggression at Oakmont has drawn further scrutiny, especially as the U.S. Open remains one of the most testing events in professional golf. Other top players have also vented their frustrations, including Rory McIlroy, who smashed a tee marker and threw a club, and Shane Lowry, who famously cursed out loud after a missed putt. These moments, however, occurred during play, while Clark’s locker room outburst has raised questions about his behavior under pressure. Fox News Digital reached out to Clark’s representatives for comment, but as of now, he has not responded to the allegations. The situation remains ongoing, with the golf community awaiting his reaction following the final round on Sunday.
