Wyndham Clark said Sunday he feels “terrible” about damaging a locker at century-old Oakmont during the US Open and that he wants to make good with the Pittsburgh-area country club and longtime US Open site. Club president John Lynch sent Oakmont members a letter last week saying Clark would not be allowed back on the property until he paid for repairs and got counseling for his anger. Media were not allowed in the locker room, but a photo was leaked. “I feel terrible with what happened. I’m doing anything I can to try to remedy the situation,” Clark said after he shot 65 in the final round and tied for fourth in the British Open. “We’re trying to keep it private between Oakmont, myself and the USGA. … I’m hoping we can get past this and move on and hope there’s no ill will towards me and Oakmont.” It’s been a rough year for Clark, who was on the verge of missing a second straight cut in a major when he opened with a 76 at Royal Portrush. He rallied with rounds of 66-66-65 for his best finish in a major since he won the 2023 US Open. He also threw a club at the PGA Championship after a poor tee shot that damaged a sign and nearly hit a volunteer.
ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum once compared him to Miley Cyrus and the late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis called him a “flat-out liar.’’
Fuzzy Zoeller, a two-time major champion and one of golf’s most gregarious characters whose career was tainted by a racially insensitive joke about Tiger Woods, has died, according to a longtime colleague. He was 74.
