Golf star Wyndham Clark has insisted he's 'very sorry' for his recent behaviour at the US Open, where he caused damage to the locker room after failing to make the cut.
The American caused controversy by taking his anger out on lockers at Oakmont, with images of the destruction going viral on social media.
Clark has struggled for consistency in recent years but is currently playing at the Travelers Championship.
The 31-year-old made a strong start on Thursday, shooting six under to sit behind Austin Eckroat and Scottie Scheffler on the leaderboard.

“I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows," he said.
“I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I'm very sorry for what happened.
“But I'd also like to move on, not only for myself but for Oakmont, for the USGA, and kind of focus on the rest of this year and things that come up. I still want to try to make the Ryder Cup team.”
“You can give yourself plenty of chances for birdies, which Keegan [Bradley] and I did today.
“Overall, it was a good start to the tournament, and I think when you're in a two-ball like that we can sort of feed off one another a little bit, too, that's nice, as well.”
While Eckroat shot 62 to set the pace, Scheffler appears to be the man to beat.

As the world No 1, he's now the overwhelming favourite to secure glory after starting the tournament so impressively.
And the 28-year-old, who won the PGA Championship last month, feels good as he looks to add another trophy to his growing collection.
“The way I swung it the first couple rounds was pretty poor," stated the American.

“I mean, I was not getting the ball in play. I don't know if you saw much of it, but it wasn't very pretty.
“But I was very proud of the way I stayed in the tournament, and I still gave myself a chance to win.
“That gives me a lot of confidence going forward that I could - especially on a golf course like Oakmont where you know you have to get the ball in play – and I wasn't able to do that in the beginning of the tournament.

“And to hang in there, flirt with the cut line on Friday, have a good finish to my round Friday, kind of bounce back, get myself back in the tournament to give myself an opportunity to win was I felt like pretty good. I gained some confidence from that.
“It's also just good reflection knowing that it's really important for me just to stay in it mentally, and I felt like last week was, oddly enough, as good as I've been mentally on the course throughout the season.”
