Overview

  • Oakmont Country Club barred Clark from its property after he damaged century-old lockers at the U.S. Open.
  • President John Lynch’s letter set out steps for reinstatement, requiring repair cost repayment, a club-chosen charity contribution and anger management or counseling.
  • Speaking for the first time to local media, Clark expressed remorse and pledged to make amends.
  • He voiced frustration that the letter was leaked, saying he had hoped the ban would remain private among Oakmont, himself and the USGA.
  • After tying for fourth at The Open and vying for a Ryder Cup spot, Clark said he hopes to return when Oakmont next hosts the U.S. Open in 2033.
