Kevin Kisner had an interesting take on the Wyndham Clark/Oakmont locker room situation
First, he damaged a sign at the PGA Championship and then damaged lockers inside the Oakmont clubhouse, which it resulted in him being banned from the club, it was announced earlier this week. He opened with 76 in the British Open at Royal Portrush on Thursday but put together three great rounds to finish in the top five at the last major championship of the year.
During final round coverage on NBC, analyst Kevin Kisner had an interesting take on the Clark and Oakmont debacle, which resulted in numerous golf personalities on social media questioning his comments.
"I'm not sure anybody in the situation handled it properly," Kisner said on the broadcast. "Wyndham probably could have nipped that in the bud with an earlier, or justifiable, statement, but locker rooms are supposed to be sacred. Not sure how that picture got out, USGA can help with that. I think if everyone just sat at a table face to face, that situation could go away pretty quickly."
His comments make it seem as if he's pointing a finger at the USGA for the photo getting out. No Laying Up's Tron Carter is who initially posted the photo of damage on social media. After Kisner's comments, numerous people flooded social media to post about the situation.
Clark finished T-4 at the British Open and spoke with media Sunday after declining to talk Saturday.
"Yeah, so obviously I feel terrible with what happened. I'm doing anything I can to try to remedy the situation. We're trying to keep it private between Oakmont, myself and the USGA. I'm just happy we have a pathway moving forward, and like you said, I'm hoping we can get past this and move on and hope there's no ill-will towards me and Oakmont.
"Like you said, I'm just trying to get past it. I want the best for Oakmont, the USGA and myself. Like I said, I'm very sorry for what I did and feel terrible, and hopefully in a few months we're past this, and it's something of the past."
His T-4 at Royal Portrush is on the heels of a T-11 at the Genesis Scottish Open, so perhaps it's a sign of improving play.
Clark was asked about the situation becoming public, and he said, "we were hoping it was going to be private. I'll just leave it at that."

Scottie Scheffler installed as favorite for all 2026 majors, including the Masters
In one of the most honest and introspective moments of the 2025 pro gold season, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler gave one of the most revealing answers of the year during his press conference ahead of the 153rd British Open in what turned into a therapy session of sorts for him. Scheffler insisted that he sometimes wondered what the point of his golf obsession was — and then he went out and dominated the field to capture his fourth major championship. With the major season now in the rearview mirror, it's time to look ahead to 2026 and, according to Vegas oddsmakers, those scheduling tournaments might be the ones asking, "What's the point?" According to BetMGM, Scheffler is the favorite to win each of golf's four majors next year, which was also the case in 2025, when he did capture half of the world's most prized trophies. Scheffler captured the PGA Championship in May, meaning he only needs a U.S. Open to complete a career Grand Slam. The only others in the modern era to pull off that trick are Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.'Any doubts about Scottie Scheffler's British Open pedigree were emphatically squashed by the American at Royal Portrush with an effortless four-shot victory," BetMGM senior trader Matt Wall told USA Today Sports. "BetMGM immediately shortened his 2026 Masters price to +400 from +500 and that could still shorten further should he continue to dominate on the PGA Tour. The comparisons with Tiger Woods certainly don't look out of place right now. All the early action is on Scottie to win all four majors at +25000, and he is the favorite in each one right now.' Here's a look at the early odds to win golf's majors in 2026:BetMGM odds as of July 22 The Masters 2026 odds Scottie Scheffler: +400Rory McIlroy: +550Ludvig Aberg: +1200Bryson DeChambeau: +1400Collin Morikawa: +1400Jon Rahm: +1400Xander Schauffele: +1600Justin Thomas: +2500Brooks Koepka: +2800Viktor Hovland: +2800 PGA Championship 2026 odds Scottie Scheffler: +400Rory McIlroy: +600Bryson DeChambeau: +800Jon Rahm: +1400Xander Schauffele: +1600Collin Morikawa: +2000Justin Thomas: +2000Ludvig Aberg: +2200 U.S. Open 2026 odds Scottie Scheffler: +400Bryson DeChambeau: +800Rory McIlroy: +900Jon Rahm: +1200Xander Schauffele: +1800Ludvig Aberg: +2000Collin Morikawa: +2500Justin Thomas: +3300Tyrrell Hatton: +3300Viktor Hovland: +3300 The Open Championship odds Scottie Scheffler: +400Rory McIlroy: +900Jon Rahm: +1200Bryson DeChambeau: +1600Xander Schauffele: +1800Ludvig Aberg: +2200Tommy Fleetwood: +2500Tyrrell Hatton: +2500Robert MacIntyre: +2800Viktor Hovland: +2800Gambling involves risk.
