| USPGA PROFILE |
 |
| The affable Ulsterman’s quest for a major title continues in a year that has not seen him at his very best with concerns over the health of his wife Heather understandably at the forefront of his mind. There is no question that Clarke has the skill to win here but his tendency to still throw in the odd horror shot - like a shank going down the stretch at Whistling Straits last year - can unravel much of his good work. A glance at Clarke’s past record suggests he could be thereabouts or packing his bags and off home for the weekend. |
