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."

Fever vs. Wings prediction: WNBA odds, picks, best bets for Friday
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. It looks as though fans will be deprived yet again of seeing Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers face each other in the WNBA. Clark is expected to miss her 15th game this season due to injury when the Indiana Fever visit the Dallas Wings on Friday. She also missed the July meeting. Clark and Bueckers last met in the 2024 Final Four with Clark's Iowa Hawkeyes outlasting UConn in a game that came down to the final seconds. WNBA fans are eager to see the first pro chapter of what is expected to be a long-standing rivalry. The All-Star guards have been chosen with the top draft pick in consecutive years. The Fever are three-point road favorites with a total of 169 points. As a handicapper, the key is to analyze the Fever in games that Clark has missed, as only those apply to this matchup. Indy has won three straight games and is 7-7 without its star guard, compared to 8-5 with her. The Fever are a better and more explosive team with Clark. However, they still maintain their high pace with Aari McDonald running the point in Clark's place. For example, they just scored 107 points in their last game. Indiana Fever guard Aari McDonald (2) brings the ball up court against the Chicago Sky during the first half at United Center. Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Dallas has shown improvement recently, but ultimately, this team is lottery-bound because of its bad defense. The Wings allow 86.4 points per game, which ranks fourth-worst. Injuries have also played a role, but Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale are now healthy, and Dallas is making some noise. The Wings just beat the reigning champion Liberty by scoring 92 points and lost in the final seconds to the Atlanta Dream. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps I expect another competitive, back-and-forth game. Additionally, I anticipate a high-scoring showdown because both teams identify with their high-octane offense. That is furthered by Dallas recently incorporating a smaller starting lineup with the 6-foot-1 Haley Jones replacing 6-7 Li Yueru. I have a 58-47-1 ATS record in this Post sports section, and my next play is Over 169 points.

Sophie Cunningham offers murky update on Caitlin Clark's Fever return
The post Sophie Cunningham offers murky update on Caitlin Clark's Fever return appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Fever are handling adversity well during the 2025 WNBA season. Indiana has been thrown a few curveballs already this season, including a breakup with DeWanna Bonner and multiple injuries to superstar Caitlin Clark. The Fever are hopeful that Clark can return soon, but it is unclear when that will be. Fever guard Sophie Cunningham gave a murky update on when Caitlin Clark will return during a recent interview. 'Honestly no. It is her groin, but it's such like a weird injury,' Cunningham said on the Show Me Something podcast on Thursday when asked about Clark's return. 'She's not in pain all the time. But when you do hurt it you're out for another….So I think they're trying to be like extra cautious so she doesn't kind of have those little setbacks.' Clark has dealt with multiple injuries during the 2025 season. She is currently rehabbing a groin injury she suffered just before the WNBA All-Star break. Clark has missed a whopping 14 games out of Indiana's 27 games played so far this season. Fever doing their best without Caitlin Clark during 2025 WNBA season The Fever has played well without Clark in the lineup, thanks to the strong play of Cunningham. Indiana has also benefited from Aari McDonald stepping up as the team's starting point guard in Clark's absence. If the Fever continue winning games without Clark, they seem comfortable waiting as long as it takes for her to return. 'If we could continue to win without her. Of course we want her to play though. I want her to play. You know what I mean? But like, if we can be successful without her, give her a little bit more of a break, I think that's going to be good,' Cunningham concluded. Indiana has a record of 15-12 and is riding a three-game winning streak. They currently sit at third place in the Eastern Conference and sixth place in the WNBA standings. The Fever need to continue to stack wins during the second half of the regular season. Indiana knows they'll get a huge boost when Clark returns to the court, but they cannot let off the pressure now. Next up for the Fever is a road game in Dallas against the Wings on Friday night.
