The difficulty of Oakmont Country Club is prompting some PGA Tour golfers to have a meltdown during the U.S. Open. Fans have witnessed the visible frustration from golfers during the U.S. Open broadcast.
Even elite golfers like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy have been among the stars who displayed anger throughout the U.S. Open. Yet, a new report indicates a former US Open winner took things too far.
According to Tron Carter of the “No Laying Up” podcast, one PGA Tour golfer took out his anger on the Oakmont Country Club locker room. Carter posted a photo featuring several broken lockers that the media member reported were smashed by Wyndham Clark.
“Multiple sources confirming that the (Wyndham Clark) really got after it in the Oakmont locker room,” Carter posted in a message on X on Saturday.
“Super classy, desecrating one of the most historic spots in golf AND on the heels of his behavior at Quail Hollow. Probably time to put him in the cooler for a few months.”
Carter followed up his original message with a photo of the locker room.
The “No Laying Up” podcast often refers to Clark by the nickname “Blow Pig” as Carter referenced in his tweet. The news comes after Clark’s frustration boiled over on the golf course as well.
Additionally, Clark issued an apology for his behavior at the PGA Championship in May.
