Oakmont Country Club made the decision to prohibit PGA Tour Pro Wyndham Clark from playing in his course after damaging the costume at the US Open this year.
While Clark hopes to return to the historic Penylvania club, he understands the prohibition instead.
“That depends on them,” Clark said, through ESPN, after finishing his final round in Royal Portrush in the open on Sunday. “I really don’t know. I hope it. It’s a course and a fantastic place, but that depends on them.

“I did something horrible, and I am very sorry. With luck, they have to forgive me in their heart, and maybe in the future I can play there.”
John Lunch, president of Oakmont Country Club, sent a letter to the members before the Open in Northern Ireland began by saying that Clark was prohibited after discussions with the United States Golf Association (USGA), as well as with the club’s board.

“Several of you have asked about the situation involved in Wyndham Clark and the steps taken in response to your recent behavior,” said Lynch’s letter, according to ESPN. “After multiple discussions with the USGA and the Board of the Occ, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be allowed in the Occ.
“This decision will remain in force unless the Board reconsiders and approved formally.”
The letter also pointed out that Clark could be allowed to play again in Oakmont if he pays the damage he did, he makes a “significant contribution” to a charity selected by the WECT Board and suffers an advice and/or anger management therapy.

Clark said he has seen the requirements and has communicated with them.
“Obviously, it is obvious to pay the damage. That was a fact,” Clark said. “So, obviously all the apologies, and I want to give back to the community because I hurt a great place in Pittsburgh, so I wanted to do anything I can to show them that what happened there was not a reflection of who I am and I will not happen again.”
Meanwhile, Clark said he was “waiting for him to be private” instead of seeing a letter sent to all Oakmont members.
It will be quite a while until Oakmont re -organizes a great specialization, since it is scheduled to be the home of the 2033 US Open. That will also be the last year of Clark’s 10 -year exemption for the tournament after winning it at Los Angeles Country Club in 2023.

Clark recorded a 65 under 65 on Sunday to finish his main tournament calendar this season, ending 11-down to tie room at Royal Portrush.
