Clark’s anger got the better of him at Oakmont.
During the second round of the 2025 U.S. Open, Clark made a bogey on the final hole to miss the cut by one stroke.
Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open winner, took out his frustration behind closed doors by damaging multiple lockers, per Todd Schuster of No Laying Up.
The following week, Clark apologized for his actions at the Travelers Championship.
“I’ve had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows,” Clark told reporters via Cameron Jourdan. “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.”
Clark’s questionable behavior has been on full display this season. Clark aggressively threw his driver at a sign on the tee box after an errant tee shot during the final round of the 2025 PGA Championship.

Clark’s temper will now cost him a spot in a future U.S. Open. Clark has been suspended from the Oakmont Country Club.
Golf Digest obtained a letter from club president John Lynch to members detailing Clark’s suspension.
“Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior,” Lynch wrote. “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. Reinstatement would be contingent upon Mr. Clark fulfilling a number of specific conditions, including full repayment for damages, a meaningful contribution to a charity of the Board’s choosing, and the successful completion of counseling and/or anger management sessions.
“Thank you for your understanding and continued support.”
By winning the 2023 U.S. Open, Clark is exempt from qualifying for the next 10 years. The 2033 U.S. Open is at Oakmont. If nothing changes from now until then, Clark will not be allowed to play at Oakmont.
Clark will tee off on Thursday at the 2025 Open Championship. Let’s see if Clark addresses the media this week about the Oakmont suspension.
