Overview

  • The USGA has launched a formal probe into claims that Clark damaged multiple locker doors at Oakmont Country Club after shooting back-to-back 74s and missing the U.S. Open cut
  • Social media photos show two bottom locker panels caved in, with reports attributing the dents to kicks or punches
  • Clark previously apologized for a May outburst at the PGA Championship when he smashed a T-Mobile sign after a disappointing round
  • Oakmont’s famously brutal greens and thick rough flustered several top players this week, including Rory McIlroy’s tee-marker smash and Shane Lowry’s expletive-fueled rant
  • Past incidents—from Tom Kim’s locker door slam to John Daly’s seven-figure fines—offer a benchmark for potential USGA disciplinary measures
