Wyndham Clark is said to have caused significant damage to the locker room at Oakmont after failing to make the cut at the 2025 US Open, according to reports.
The former US Open champion allegedly lost his temper in the locker room after missing the cut by a single stroke. Clark had entered this year’s third major in Pennsylvania hoping to regain his top form.
Two years ago, Clark broke into the world’s top five after claiming his first major title at Los Angeles Country Club. However, his performance has declined since. Although he secured top-50 finishes at both The Masters and PGA Championship this year, many believe he’s capable of much more.
Unfortunately, Oakmont didn’t go his way.
Clark, now 31, posted back-to-back rounds of 74, narrowly missing the 36-hole cut. According to Tron Carter of No Laying Up, several sources reported that Clark “really got after it” in the locker room after learning he wouldn’t advance to the weekend rounds.
“Multiple sources confirming that the Blow Pig really got after it in the Oakmont locker room,” Carter wrote on X.
Carter and his podcast co-hosts often refer to Clark as the “Blow Pig.”
“Desecrating one of golf’s most historic venues AND following his outburst at Quail Hollow—super classy,” Carter added. “Might be time for him to take a break for a few months.”
Carter was referencing Clark’s previous meltdown during the final round of the PGA Championship, where he smashed his driver into an advertising board after a poor tee shot on the 16th hole. The clubhead broke off, and Clark threw the remaining shaft off the tee.
After the incident, Clark publicly apologized on Instagram:
“As professionals, we’re expected to maintain composure, even in frustration. Unfortunately, I let my emotions get the best of me. My behavior was unacceptable and inappropriate, and it’s clear I have work to do.
“I hold myself to high standards, striving to represent something bigger than myself. Yesterday, I failed to meet those standards. I sincerely apologize and will work to better control my frustrations on the course in the future. I hope you can forgive me in time.”
GolfMagic reached out to the USGA for comment regarding Carter’s claims. A spokesperson responded: “When it comes to player conduct, we handle matters directly with the players and their teams.”
