Wyndham Clark experienced a regrettable final at the PGA championship last weekend.
Sunday, the US Open winner of 2023 reacted to a poor starting stroke by dangerously launching his driver in the signaling near the T-shirt. Clark had just ordered a Bogey before hitting his TEE shot on the right on the 16th hole.
Clark did not wait for the shot to land before violently launching the club, which missed a volunteer who was holding a flag.

The driver left a notable hole in the sign. The driver was also damaged, the club’s head breaking. Clark responded by throwing part of the broken club on the side, finally leaving the two pieces of the driver while he was heading for the golf ball in the bunker.

Clark said on Monday that “his actions were useless” and promised to make improvements.
“I sincerely would like to apologize for my behavior yesterday on hole 16,” said Clark in an article in X. “As professionals, we must remain professional even when they are frustrated and I unfortunately let my emotions take the best of me. My actions were not preliminary and completely inappropriate, clearly indicating that I have things on which I have to work on.”

Clark also admitted that he had “failed” from the “high standard” to which he was standing.
“I stand at a high level, trying to always play for something bigger than me, and yesterday, I did not succeed these standards. For that, I am really sorry. I promise to improve the way I manage my frustrations on the course in the future and I hope you can all forgive me in due time.”

At one point of his time on the first nine, Clark produced four consecutive bogeys. He finished the tournament during an equality for 50th place in the ranking.
Scottie Scheffler won the championship to get the third major in his career. Clark finished 15 shots behind Scheffler.
