U.S. Open Golfer Accused of Trashing Locker Room

The rugged conditions at Oakmont Country Club got the best of several golfers at this weekend's U.S. Open.

One former U.S. Open winner, frustrated by his performance, reportedly took things too far. Wyndham Clark, who won the major two years ago at Los Angeles Country Club, is accused of trashing the locker room after missing the cut on Friday.

Clark shot eight-over for the first two rounds, missing the cut by one stroke. According to media personality "Tron Carter" of the "No Laying Up" podcast, the 31-year-old Denver native broke multiple lockers after his second round was complete.

"Multiple sources confirming that [Wyndham Clark] really got after it in the Oakmont locker room," wrote Carter, whose real name is Todd Schuster. "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, who used Clark's nickname "Blow Pig" in the tweet, went on to share photos of a pair of lockers that were damaged, with the screens partially detached and folding inward.

If Carter/Schuster's reporting is accurate, this isn't the first time Clark's temper has gotten him in trouble.

At the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow last month, Clark issued a public apology after throwing his driver in frustration following a bad shot.

"I would like to sincerely apologize for my behavior on Hole 16. As professionals, we are expected to remain professional even when frustrated and I unfortunately let my emotions get the best of me," Clark wrote.

"My actions were uncalled for and completely inappropriate, making it clear that I have things I need to work on. I hold myself to a high standard, trying to always play for something bigger than myself, and yesterday I fell short of those standards. For that, I am truly sorry. I promise to be better the way I handle my frustrations on the course going forward, and hope you all can forgive me in due time."

Clark, who hasn't won on the PGA Tour since his victory at the U.S. Open two years ago, has struggled at majors this year. He finished tied for 46th at the Masters and tied for 50th at the PGA Championship before missing the cut this weekend.

Last year, Clark missed the cut at three of four majors.
