Wyndham Clark apologises for throwing driver at US PGA Championship
Clark, the 2023 US Open champion, turned and launched his driver into an advertising hoarding after finding a bunker from his tee shot on the 16th hole.
In a statement on X, Clark wrote: 'I would like to sincerely apologise for my behaviour yesterday on Hole 16.

'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 hope you can all forgive me in due time.'
Clark had made a poor start to his round and had just fallen further back after scoring a bogey on the par-five 15th.
He went on to finish in joint 50th place, wrapping up another frustrating performance in a major championship. Clark has not finished in the top 30 since his triumph at the Los Angeles Country Club.

Alcaraz and Raducanu bulldozed by Draper and Pegula in revamped US Open mixed doubles
After many long months of discussion and anticipation, the doubles partnership between Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz came and went in the blink of an eye in front of a well‑populated Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd. Despite ample smiles and enjoyment on the court, they were bulldozed in a battle of British No 1s by a sharp Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula, who reached the quarter-finals of the revamped mixed‑doubles competition with a 4-2, 4-2 win. In a draw filled with unusual partnerships, the first bracket of the mixed doubles draw was particularly striking. Draper and Raducanu are childhood friends and they have known each other since the days when they were rising up the national rankings in Britain while dreaming of becoming professional players. When the US Open announced its 'reimagined' mixed‑doubles competition in February, a partnership between them seemed like the most logical option. Instead, they found themselves against each other in the biggest tennis stadium in the world. Raducanu had played just three doubles tournaments in her entire career and the match started with a reminder of her lack of doubles prowess as she sprayed a backhand drive volley far wide. That first point set the tone for a difficult day on-court as she was continually vulnerable, particularly at the net. Draper and Alcaraz have similarly competed infrequently on the doubles court, but the British player was much sharper and determined to dominate. He played a great match, confidently closing down the net while punching holes in his opponents with his heavy topspin forehand. He showed his old friend Raducanu no mercy at all, successfully targeting her throughout. Having arrived in New York at 12.50am after his triumph at the Cincinnati Open on Monday afternoon, Alcaraz had every reason to feel uncomfortable. His own lack of experience in doubles was also evident as he was unable to take pressure off his struggling partner by imposing himself at the net. Even in defeat, the Spaniard still left with the best shot of the match. Early in the second set, Alcaraz chased down an angled forehand from Draper and flicked a spectacular forehand winner around the net post. Raducanu, who had actually given up on the point due to the quality of Draper's forehand, put her hands to her head and stared at her genius doubles partner in wonder. Perhaps the most significant result from this match was Draper's mere presence on the court. He has not competed since his second‑round defeat at Wimbledon last month after opting to withdraw from the Canadian Open and the Cincinnati Open with a left forearm injury. After his blistering start to the season, his year has cooled in recent months because of injury and a couple of difficult defeats at the French Open and Wimbledon. Here, he looked fit and ready to tackle the rest of the season. While the partnership between Raducanu and Alcaraz has dominated the headlines since it was announced, the pairing of Draper and Pegula took a while to form. Draper had signed up initially to compete alongside the Olympic gold medallist Zheng Qinwen and then Paula Badosa, but both players withdrew from the US Open with significant injuries. Draper has inadvertently stumbled on to one of the best possible partners. In stark contrast to the three completely inexperienced doubles players around her, Pegula is one of the most accomplished players across both singles and doubles, the current singles No 4 and a former doubles No 1. Her solid baseline play and intelligence on the court provided Draper with the platform to thrive, and they will try to continue this great form. Alcaraz was not the only player with a rapid turnaround from the Cincinnati Open. Iga Swiatek did not finish her media duties until around 10pm and both she and Alcaraz were ferried from Cincinnati on a private jet. Just over 13 hours after finishing her work in Ohio, she was on-court training with her new doubles partner, Casper Ruud. Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion No matter, Swiatek swept on to Arthur Ashe stadium and followed up her Cincinnati triumph with two clean wins to reach the quarter‑finals. The Pole has already put together a number of incredible performances in her occasional mixed‑doubles appearances at the United Cup and in a different state, court and format from her victory against Jasmine Paolini on Monday evening, she was excellent from the beginning alongside Ruud. Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, the defending champions and the only doubles specialist team in the draw, marched through the rounds in pursuit of another title – and justice for the doubles specialists who have been squeezed out of the competition in order to accommodate the singles stars. From the first ball of their opening‑round match against the singles stars Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina, the Italian pairing were on a mission and they carried themselves like a team determined to represent all doubles players. Every point was played with manic intensity, especially from Errani, with their screams of 'allez' and 'vamos' directly punctuating almost every success. Most importantly, they played flawlessly, erecting a wall at the net and picking apart their inexperienced opponents as they eased to straight‑sets wins against Fritz and Elena Rybakina, then Karolina Muchova and Andrey Rublev.

Top seeds Draper and Pegula see off all-star Raducanu-Alcaraz pairing on day one of US Open mixed doubles
Despite the on-court chemistry between Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz, the pair could not hold off top seeds Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula on an entertaining first day of the US Open mixed doubles event. The pair of former US Open champions received a huge cheer from the busy Arthur Ashe Stadium as they walked out, and smiled and joked their way through their first-round encounter at the revamped and divisive mixed event. But Draper and Pegula proved too strong, winning 4-2, 4-2 after breaking early in both sets in the truncated format. Raducanu withstood a barrage of pressure on serve at 3-2 in the second set, falling 15-40 down before whipping in two fine serves, before taking the game on the deciding point. The match improved in quality as the brand-new pairings settled in, but it was Draper and Pegula who formed a smoother partnership. The Brit in particular was imperious on serve and moved superbly around the court, sealing the match with a down-the-line forehand winner. The top seeds will face the winners of the final round-of-16 match, between Olga Danilovic and Novak Djokovic vs Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev. The new-look event has been controversial since its inception, with doubles players including defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori - the only established mixed doubles pair in the draw - voicing a sense of injustice at how the specialists were excluded in favour of singles stars. But the opening round of matches seemed well-received by the New York crowd. Spectators flocked to the two show courts, Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong, in their droves, and loudly backed home favourites including Venus Williams and Reilly Opelka. And some pairings - despite the lack of preparation time - managed to quickly gel on court. Lorenzo Musetti and Caty McNally, the latter a late replacement for Cincinnati finalist Jasmine Paolini, overcame Naomi Osaka and Gael Monfils, winning 5-3, 4-2. Two-time grand slam doubles finalist McNally only got the call-up to play on Sunday evening but the pair looked a real force together. Karolina Muchova 's deftness and court craft combined brilliantly with Andrey Rublev 's firepower as they dumped out Venus Williams and Reilly Opelka, winning 4-2, 5-4 in their opener, and third seeds Iga Swiatek - less than 24 hours on from her triumph in Cincinnati - and Casper Ruud required just 39 minutes to see off Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe 4-2, 4-1. The third seeds then beat McNally and Musetti to become the first team into the last four. But the specialists showed everyone how it was done: defending champions Errani and Vavassori took 40 minutes to dispatch second seeds Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz, winning 4-2, 4-2. 'We were playing for the doubles teams who could not be here,' Vavassori said afterwards. They then overwhelmed a spirited challenge from the improving team of Muchova and Rublev to book their place in the semi-finals, winning 4-1, 5-4(7-4), with shouts of 'forza!' indicating just how important this was to the pair. Later in the day women's doubles No 1 Taylor Townsend and Ben Shelton saw off the fourth seeds Amanda Anisimova and Holger Rune 4-2, 5-4(7-2). The remaining quarter-finals will be played later on Tuesday, with the semi-finals and final to follow on Wednesday night.

Jack Draper gets the better of Emma Raducanu in US Open mixed doubles
Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula cruised to a straight-sets win against Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu in the first round of the revamped US Open mixed doubles. British number one men's player Draper and American partner Pegula overcame men's world number two Alcaraz and top-ranked British woman Raducanu 4-2 4-2 in 51 minutes to reach the quarter-finals. Raducanu lost her serve in the opening game and although there were no further break points in the set, that was enough for Draper and Pegula to clinch it. Alcaraz and Raducanu opened up a 1-0 lead in the second set but were broken again to fall 2-1 behind and Draper demonstrated his accuracy and power to hold his own serve to edge 3-1 ahead. Raducanu saved three break points before holding to cut the deficit to 3-2, but Draper sealed victory on the third match point in the next game with a stunning forehand down the line. The mixed doubles has come under the spotlight at Flushing Meadows after being rescheduled to start before the main tournament, with one million dollars (£750,000) in prize money at stake for the winners of the 16-pair event.
