Overview

• Oakmont Country Club barred Clark until he reimburses repair costs, donates to a board-chosen charity and completes anger-management or counseling sessions.
• The USGA endorsed the club’s decision to publicize the ban despite Clark’s preference to resolve the matter privately.
• In a press conference at Royal Portrush, Clark publicly shamed the individual who leaked the ban notice and reiterated remorse for damaging club property.
• NBC analyst Kevin Kisner criticized both Clark’s temper outbursts and the USGA’s handling of the leak, proposing a face-to-face meeting to settle the dispute.
• Clark said he remains optimistic about returning to Oakmont but acknowledged that reinstatement rests entirely with the club.
