Former US Open champion Wyndham Clark has been blasted on social media for allegedly destroying multiple lockers in an angry outburst during this weekend's major. Clark endured a tournament to forget at Oakmont, missing the cut by just one shot on Friday after posting an aggregate score of eight over par.

The American triumphed on the famous Pittsburgh course two years ago but is now under fire and accused of inflicting damage to the locker room. On X (formerly Twitter), No Laying Up's Tron Carter shared an image that appeared to show Clark's bag next to some smashed-up lockers. The report hasn't yet been confirmed, but Carter convincingly pointed the finger at Clark for his fury-fuelled actions.

Alongside the photo, he wrote: "Multiple sources confirming that the Blow Pig really got after it in the Oakmont locker room.

"Super classy, desecrating one of the most historic spots in golf AND on the heels of his behaviour at Quail Hollow. Probably time to put him in the cooler for a few months."

Carter is referring to Clark's explosion during the final round of the PGA Championship in May, when he reacted to a poor drive down the 16th by launching his driver towards some advertising boards.

The American narrowly missed a marshal after the reckless decision and quickly took to Instagram to apologise.

He penned: "As professionals, we are expected to remain professional even when frustrated, and I unfortunately let my emotions get the best of me.

"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 better the way I handle my frustrations on the course going forward, and I hope you all can forgive me in due time."

Clark has faced intense scrutiny on social media after the accusations of his Oakmont locker room tantrum.

That said, 2010 champion Graeme McDowell has simmered the backlash by describing it as a "minimal" offence compared to other scenes he's witnessed behind the scenes.

And Clark would not be the only player to have lost his temper amid testing conditions in Pennsylvania across the weekend.

Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and John Rahm have all made the headlines for outbursts on the course as Sam Burns enters the final day in the lead.
