Darren Clarke i velkjent positur
27.04 ET:
Darren Clarke vant - etter 10 timers daglig trening
Det var mange som syntes det var hyggelig at Darren Clarke vant en turnering igjen. Hans kone Heather døde av kreft for et par år siden. Darren har ikke spilt så bra golf i det siste.

Likevel har det vært fremganger å se det siste halve året selv om han ikke har klart å spillebra hele veien gjennom en turnering. Han senket en putt på 13 meter på det siste hullet for å vinne the BMW Asian Open.

Han slo Robert-Jan Derksen, NED, med et slag og vant sin første sieer på nesten 5 år på Tomson Shanghai Pudong Golf Club.

Dette var hans 11. seier på The European Tour.

“This one is very special,” sa en glad Darren Clarke i følge ETs hjemmeside. “This is the toughest one of all of them and it’s nice to get back up to where I feel my golf should be. It’s nice to win again and it’s a really, really good feeling.”

“It was always going to be a difficult hurdle for me to get back into the winners’ circle after Heather had passed away,” he continued. “My mind started going forward from the 14th onwards, I lost my concentration and started thinking about Heather and the boys and in this game unless you keep your concentration for the whole way you make mistakes. That’s what I did. But on the last green I gathered myself and said hit a good putt. Luckily I did and it went in.”

Dette skrev ET videre: Asked where this victory stood alongside his other worldwide titles, he replied: “This is the very top. I have been working harder than I have ever worked on all aspects of my game, putting in nine, ten 11 hour days and it is nice to see it pay off. My game has been good and this is a big mental hurdle I have crossed today.

“It is a really nice feeling to get back in the winners’ enclosure, not to prove anything but to show their support meant an awful lot to me.”
