Windham Clark was set to return to action at the Windham Championship later this week, but the former US Open champion has opted to withdraw from competing. Windham Clark has opted to pull out of this week’s Windham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club just 2 days after committing to the event. Clark, who was recently banned from Oakmont after an outburst at last month’s US Open, competed at the 3M Open last week, finishing in a tie for 12th. Partway through the event, the US RDER Cup star was confirmed in the field for the Windham Championship in the buildup to the FedEx Cup playoffs. Following a strong performance at TPC Twin Cities, though, Clark’s quick withdrawal was confirmed with Trevor Conn coming in to take the 31-year-old’s place in the Windham Field. Clark’s tied 12th finish at the 3M came a week after he impressed at the Open Championship where he finished in a tie for fourth at 11 under par. During his week at Royal Portrait, it was revealed that the American had been banned from playing golf at Oakmont after causing damage to the locker room following his performance at the US Open. Per Golf Digest, Oakmont bosses have called on Clark to make full repayment for damages, a meaningful contribution to a charity of the board’s choosing, and the successful completion of counseling and or anger management sessions. If he is to have his ban lifted.3 days after his ban was made public, the 2023 US Open champion issued an apology following his final round at Royal Portrait. So, obviously, I feel terrible with what happened, he admitted. I’m doing anything I can to try to remedy the situation.
