World ranking No. 28 Wyndham Clark (United States) has been banned from the golf course after breaking a locker room door at the 125th U.S. Open, a major men's golf tournament.
On the 17th, local U.S. media outlets, including USA Today, reported that the Oakmont Country Club in the United States recently sent a letter from the president to its members, notifying them of Clark's ban. The Oakmont Country Club stated in the letter, "After discussions with the United States Golf Association (USGA), we have decided to prohibit Clark from utilizing our facilities," adding, "To regain access here, Clark must provide proof of compensation for damages, engage in donation activities, and undergo anger management treatment."
Clark, who finished the second round of the U.S. Open on the 14th with a score of 8 over par and missed the cut, was unable to contain his anger and damaged the clubhouse locker room door. This incident became known the next day through social media, and Clark apologized.
The Oakmont Country Club demanded compensation for damages and anger management treatment from Clark. Established in 1903, this historic golf course has hosted the U.S. Open ten times and will host it again in 2033. If Clark fails to meet the conditions set by the Oakmont Country Club, he may be barred from returning to the course, potentially impacting his future career as a player.
