The American golfer Wyndham Clark would have been banned from Oakmont Country Club after having pretended to damage the club’s venerated locker room at US Open in June.

According to a letter from the president of the Oakmont Country Club, John Lynch, sent to members that Golf Digest – who, like CNN, is part of Warner Bros. Discovery – obtained, the decision was made due to the “recent behavior” of Clark.

“Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the measures taken in response to his recent behavior. After several discussions with the USGA and the board of directors of the WC, a decision was made that Mr. Clark will no longer be authorized on the WC property,” said the letter.

“This decision will remain in force unless the officially reconsidered review and approved by the Board of Directors. Reintegration would be subject to Mr. Clark fulfilling a certain number of specific conditions, including a full reimbursement for damages, a significant contribution to a charity of the choice of advice and the success of advice and / or anger management sessions. ”

CNN contacted Oakmont Country Club and the United States Golf Association – The Golf Director of the United States – for comments.

The Oakmont course has frustrated many of the best golfers in the world to US Open this year and only one player, winner JJ SPAUN, finished under the peer.

In what was difficult, Clark – who won the US Open in 2023 – did not cut to play this weekend and finished 8 on peer.

After his missed cut, reports on social media circulated that Clark had damaged the Oakmont lockers after one of his rounds. At the Travelers championship in Connecticut a week later, Clark apologized for his actions.

“I had a lot of ups and downs in my career, especially this year, from lows. I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I am really sorry for what happened,” the 31 -year -old told journalists during the tournament.

“But I would also like to move on, not only for myself, but for Oakmont, for the USGA, and in a way to focus on the rest of this year and the things that arise. I always want to try to do the Ryder Cup team. I’m always outside for the search for the Fedex. So I’m starting to continue and focus on these things.”

He was far from being alone in his anger last weekend. Many players have been seen throwing clubs, slaming them with frustration and cursing the brutal course.

This is not the first time that this season Clark has expressed its anger on the course. During the PGA 2025 championship, the world n ° 28 launched its club after a trip, damaging a box of TEE.

Oakmont Country Club is then ready to welcome the US Open in 2033. Clark will have an exception to qualify for the tournament thanks to its victory in 2023.
