While Wynham Clark was putting the touches of finishing in a 65 gas, in the last round of The 153th open championshipNBC notifier Dan Hicks appeared in the broadcast one of the darkest chapters in Clark’s career: the moment when Clark, after losing the cut on the US Open at Oakmont Country Club in June, brought out his disappointment In a unprotected closet bank in Oakmont Historical Locker Rooms for Men. Clark’s explosion angered Oakmont members and when a photo of the damage appeared on social media, golf fans generally took a look at the ugly result of Clark’s rage.
Hicks informed the NBC audience that Oakmont had recently decided to stop Clark from the club and “noticed it to be better”, which drew a response inspired by one of Hicks Cabin, Four times PGA Tour Kevin Kisner.
“I’m not sure someone in the situation treated it properly,” Kisner said. “Wyndham could probably have dipped it into the bud with an earlier, or justifiable statement, but the closet rooms are supposed to be sacred. I’m not sure that picture came out; USA can help with it. I think if everyone just sat at a face -to -face table, that situation could leave very quickly.”
It seems very impossible for the United States Golf Association to have any connection with the flow of that photo – the image was shared with the no Laying’s Carter, who posted it in its X -food – but anyway, Hicks and Kisner’s relaxation of L’Ffaire Caught the Golf fans attention on social media.
Clark himself was also asked to reflect on the incident branches at his press conference after the round Sunday evening. “Of course I feel terrible with what happened,” he said. “I’m doing everything I can to try to correct the situation.”
At the beginning of this week, Golf Digest published a letter That club president Oakmont John Lynch had sent to members saying after “numerous discussions with USA and Board Occ, a decision was made that Mr. Clark will no longer be allowed on OCC property.” Lynch wrote that the club would consider resetting Clark only if he fulfilled “a number of specific conditions, including full repayment for damages, a significant contribution to a charity of board choice and successful conclusion of counseling and/or anger sessions.”
Asked on Sunday if those requests felt reasonable for Clark, he said: “Yes, we arrived and we wanted to do it. Of course, it is a thoughtless to pay the damage. This was given. Then obviously all apologies, and I want to return to the community because I hurt a great place in Pittsburgh, so I wanted nothing to do to what I was going to do nothing to do to what I was going to do. again. ”
US Open is expected to return to Oakmont in 2033, and then again in 2042 and 2049. Clark won a 10-year exception of US Open to win 2023 US Open, means that he would be excluded for edition 2033. As to whether Clark will be welcome in the club by then: and fantastic place. ”
Clark said he would prefer Lynch’s letter to remain private, but stressed that he was deeply remorseful for his actions. “I did something terrible and I’m sorry for her,” he said. “Hopefully they have it in their hearts to forgive me, and maybe in the future I will be able to play there.”
That Friday at Oakmont was not the first time Clark has allowed his temperament to improve it better. After a loose goal at the PGA championship in May, Clark threw his driver into the signage behind the Tee box. On Monday after this tournament, he apologized for X, writing, “My actions were careless and completely inappropriate, making it clear that I have things I have to work for.”
On Sunday in Portrush, Clark accepted the “two stupid things” he has done this year and said managing his anger is a developing job.
“I’ve been pretty open for my mental change and the change to get better,” he said. “One thing he did is wake me up and turn me into the person I know I am and the person I want to be. I hope those things do not reflect because I don’t think they reflect who I am, and go before things will not happen again.”
Sunday 65 of Clark became better only from 64 of Bryson Dechambeau and raised it to a tie for 4. Finally, his first Top-10 conclusion on a major since his US Open victory.
